GuruNet launch Answers.com: Free version

Answers.com Who is... What is...

Mission: "Our super-encyclopedia gives you quick facts— not hundreds of search engine links."

Covers: "Over a million topics, covering people, places, words and names, drawn from reliable dictionaries, encyclopedias, websites, and more. Check out our Directory of content areas and sample topics"

Also claims: "Reliability, not popularity, is the criterion for our answers. Answers.com contains only up-to-date, accurate definitions and explanations from authoritative sources like Houghton-Mifflin, Columbia University Press, Merriam Webster, Inlumen, Investopedia and Who2. In addition, you can trust your children with Answers.com content, eliminating the need to do research in potentially out-of-date or unsafe sites on the Web.

Bigger, broader, more dynamic than any encyclopedia
Our topics range from law to poetry, from finance to nutrition, from culinary terms to mythology. No need to bookmark separate sites for cross-discipline reference."


Download version: "Click AnswersTM (Beta) brings you instant information about any word on your screen, whether you're working in Word, reading your e-mail, or browsing the web."
