  • WikiAnswers. com is an ad-supported website where knowledge is shared freely in the form of questions and answers. Anyone can ask a question and anyone from anywhere in the world can answer it. This sharing of knowledge in turn becomes part of a permanent information resource. WikiAnswers. com leverages wiki technology and fundamentals, allowing communal ownership and editing of content. Each question has a “living” answer, which is edited and improved over time by the WikiAnswers. com community. WikiAnswers. com uses an Alternates System – where every answer can have dozens of different Questions that “trigger” it. When a Contributor asks a question similar to an existing one, the system connects the question to it as an “alternate. ” This prevents duplicate entries in an effort to promote cohesive answers and a better user experience. Created in 2002 by Chris Whitten as FAQ Farm, the site and all corresponding domains were acquired by Answers Corporation in November 2006 to become the user-generated content (UGC) component of Answers. com. Following the acquisition, the product was re-named WikiAnswers. As of January 2009, it had over 9,000,000 questions; over 3,000,000 answers; 4,470 categories; over 2 million contributors; and over 500 volunteer Supervisors. According to comScore December 2008 data, WikiAnswers. com had 16.5 million unique visitors in the US and 26.7 million worldwide.
