Is Mahalo focusing exclusively on the Pages and leaving Mahalo Answers in the background?

It is harder to find questions from the members and many have turned into "what's your favourite" kind of question. This leaves human powered research out of the picture. I like the Pages but I find them too static and monochord than the information one can obtain through Mahalo Answers.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The pages were around before Answers. I think the challenge is to successfully integrate the two. The pages are a resource that should be being used by Answers-- and the questions and information provided in Answers should be used to update the pages, keeping them fresh.

I too dislike the "what's your favorite" type of question- a few , if well answered are a great way to get to know each other, but I tend to skip over most of them. If we want deeper questions, though, I guess it's incumbent upon us to ask them.

Now I need to think of a few.

i've found quite a few interesting questions. i guess it just depends on what you are interested in. there are a lot of questions that are too general to even give a decent answer to, and i think a lot of them come from twitter.

but just today i've seen several... troll through the categories. you might find some gems.

Oh, I am a category surfer and still haven't found those questions that really make me want to open ten web browsers and start my research.

I think a lot of focus is now on the Pages section just because it is new, or at least the ability for all users to claim and manage pages is new. Answers has been around a long time and people are comfortable with it, so it's not discussed as much.

As far as the "What's your favorite" vs. research questions, in my case if I have a question that requires internet research, I will most likely find the answer myself. If I still can't find it, then I might ask it here. But for favorite questions, they are like surveys that can only be answered by other people like the folks here at Mahalo.

I think there are still a fair amount of Mahalo users asking questions, but they do tend to get drowned out by the masses of questions imported from twitter.
