Oprah Wants Answers from You

Yahoo! Answers is an innovative service that allows users to post questions related to any topic and receive answers from
the entire community.

In October, the well known TV star Oprah Winfrey launched a contest to offer every person in the audience $1000 to donate in a charitable cause. This time, the TV star posted a question on Yahoo! Answers to view what users would do with $1000.

"Oprah is asking Answerers to share how they would help out a perfect stranger if given the opportunity. Her premise for paying it forward is simple - if given $1,000 to help better someone's life, how would you do it? Members of her audience were given $1,000, a video camera, and one week to complete this task. The act had to be selfless, which for many people is the first of many hurdles in this process," Yahoo! Answers Team said on the blog.

"You may have heard about the concept of paying it forward -- the idea of doing something meaningful to help someone else without asking for anything in return. So, if you were given $1,000 with the understanding that it had to be used to help others, how would you use the money and why?" Oprah sustained.

If you're interested in the answers provided by the members of the community or you just want to post an answer, then you should follow this link.
