Answers.Com Now In This Blog!



Look to the left side of this page and note that new amazing software is enabled by double-clicking on any word within this blog. The double-click produces a popup window containing a word definition or an explanation of a term. This feature exists in the NYTimes and other top-of-the-line information sites. Now, this blog has it, too. If this is (fair & balanced) posturing, so be it.

Answers.com is a website that presents reference content in over four million entries, collected from multiple sources. The site was launched in January 2005. The website is the primary product of the Answers Corporation (NASDAQ: ANSW), previously GuruNet, an Israel-based Internet reference company with offices in New York City and Jerusalem, founded by Bob Rosenschein in 1999.

Answers Corporation also owns Wikianswers, a Q&A site that uses a wiki engine to improve questions and answers. It is the second-largest Q&A site after Yahoo! Answers.[citation needed] Answers has stated that it intends to bring the two sites much closer together in order to provide various types of answers to its visitors -- both encyclopedic and "community-based".

The Answers.com staff:

Robert S Rosenschein, chairman of the board, president, chief executive officer
Steven Steinberg, chief financial officer, secretary
Bruce D Smith, chief strategic officer
Jeff Schneiderman, chief technical officer
