So everytime I search for something I get a half dozen duplicate hits? No thanks. |

I was speaking more of natural selection. |
|
| |
So how many IP laws does this idea break? |
|
| |
None, AFAICT. Indexing free (as in beer) content is legal, or else search engines wouldn't be in business. Posting the same stuff to multiple sites (as longs as it isn't spam) is legal, this just does the footwork for you. |

Or, you could ask me. I know everything. |

Yes, I'm actually curious |

[boysparks], after running through a lot of these q &a sites, it
seems none of them do a captcha type system even during
registration. So, in theory one could register with many q&a
sites at once through askthemall.com |
|

would you guys ever use something like this? |
|

I think you'll find that the Q&A sites make money from delivering advertising as people read the answers. So it might be politic to require people to visit the individual sites to get their replies. |

How would you collate or aggregate the answers? RSS feeds? |
|
| |
"Intelligent" page scraping like search engines do. |

//So everytime I search for something I get a half dozen duplicate hits? No thanks.// Ditto. Plus it would flood all of those sites with lazy questions like, "What color should I wear today?" and then they don't even bother to come back to see the answers. By manually logging into each site, a lazy question asker will become bored or distracted before they could get on the third site. |
