Over the past few years, a wide variety of websites have become extremely popular. These sites are focused on users and based on user queries. Consider DIY websites such as Yahoo Answers, Wikipedia, and Ask.com; all are focused on providing information to those searching for answers. These websites find information by offering an easy to use question and answer format. Basically, users can scroll through a long list of questions and click on the one that they are interested in finding the answer to.
Let’s examine the search for information online.
When a user puts information into a search box in a search engine and clicks ‘enter’, pages upon pages of results are returned. The problem is that many of the results are not necessarily going to supply the information that a user is looking for. Instead, it may return a product page, or an article or blog post mentioning the words that you entered. Obviously, this can be frustrating for someone looking for an answer to their question.
With question and answer websites, users can go straight to the site and scroll through the list of questions in order to find the information that they need. It’s that simple. For instance, health care professionals often confuse patients with medical terminology that we obviously don’t understand. Sure, these terms are common knowledge to them because they work in the field and use these terms on a daily basis; however, the typical person might be left wondering, “What is a pleurodesis?” along with many similar questions about what they’ve been told.
Legal terms are another concern because, for those of us that are not familiar with legal jargon, the many terms involved in this category can be downright confusing. First of all, many legal terms are Latin terms, so it can be difficult to even attempt to ascertain the meaning without having some type of background in the Latin language. Of course, with so many crime dramas and legal shows on television today, avid watchers might be able to develop at least a clue as to what a certain term might mean. Still, if you hear something like, ex contractu on one of these shows, and find yourself asking, “What is ex contractu?” you can easily visit question and answer websites to find out in just a few clicks of your mouse. When’s the last time you learned something new?
