Your search actually performed better than Google for me on a random query. I queried both engines "What is the specific heat of alcohol?", Google threw up a rich search answer that linked to some random Mexican site that is clearly exploiting SEO [1], you.com linked me to answers.com (which is more trustworthy than random mexican website).

what is stopping companies/users from abusing/gaming on this system with bots?

Richard, CEO at you.com here.

Users vote on their own preferences... not on other users' preferences. so i dont see how it will be gamed unless we start incorporating user preferences into global ones - which we would only do if we thought it worked better and isn't being gamed.

I just learned about you.com from this thread. It looks very promising.
