I don't think the twitter import is obsolete. Both serve their purpose.
Twitter import brings in a wide variety of questions over here and when/if we answer them, the twitter member gets them. Which means they get information, and possibly we gain a new member of Mahalo!
The Anon questions let us ask questions, good or bad, if we don't want our names attached to them. Downside if we want to check the answers, we have to dig through the MA pages to find them, check the Anon profile, or if we're smart enough to do so, bookmark the question.

I believe both tools add value to Mahalo for their respected uses, even with the addition of the Anon Q tool, I still find myself perusing the Twitter Questions for interesting imports.
With that said, I think Anon does spare users a bit of time when they are looking for a specific answers to specific questions that they do not want to personally ask.

That being said, maybe we will still use Twittersearch, but with better motives. We will use it to bring people into Mahalo and look after them if they join. On second thought, we look after each other anyway, so, the better motive will be to answer questions. That is our passion. That is our design.
So, NO, it is not obsolete! We like answering questions and real questions are our passion. So, twittersearch on... we now just have better motives.
Thanks for the question. 8~)

I don't see why anonymous makes the twitter questions obsolete. They both result in countless stupid questions, but separately.

You know you are right Chris, I sometimes forget that we can use TwitterSearch to basically invite new users to come over to Mahalo Answers and have some fun too. You can't do that with anonymous questions.

TwitterSearch is still available. I believe both tools add value to Mahalo for their respected uses, even with the addition of the Anon Q tool, I still find myself perusing the Twitter Questions for interesting imports.
With that said, I think Anon does spare users a bit of time when they are looking for a specific answers to specific questions that they do not want to personally ask.

Ok so we are on the same page there. Will M3 still have the Twittersearch feature?

I have not heard of any elimination of the TwitterSearch program. If it is being eliminated we might both find out at the same time :) If I find out in advance I'll be sure to let you know.

I would have to say that this is 75/25. 75% of the reasons that those of us that use twitter questions is obsolete. We can now just create questions to answer ourselves for the same purposes. The 25% is to bring new people into Mahalo. I think that is probably a high percentage. But that is just my take. That is rarely my motive when using Twittersearch! That being said, maybe we will still use Twittersearch, but with better motives. We will use it to bring people into Mahalo and look after them if they join. On second thought, we look after each other anyway, so, the better motive will be to answer questions. That is our passion. That is our design.

They are both really bad ideas. They both degrade the quality of questions on Mahalo. They both contribute to answerers wasting time and they reduce the quality of answers. I don't see why anonymous makes the twitter questions obsolete. They both result in countless stupid questions, but separately.
