+ Answers.com Officially Launches WikiAnswers
WikiAnswers (formerly FAQFarm.com) became a division of Answers.com last November.

Distinct from other community Question & Answer (Q&A) sites, where answers are voted on but not improved, the content on WikiAnswers is an ongoing collaboration of shared knowledge, using the "wiki" methodology best known for its use on Wikipedia: The quality and coverage of answers is upgraded and improved over time by the community, under the direction of category supervisors. The result is a permanent, multidisciplinary, high-quality archive for people who have similar questions or interests.

See Also: Some of the latest questions looking for answers.
When we checked earlier, lots of questions about cars and truck repair.

See Also: Expert Powered FAQ's and Answer Databases (via AskA+ Locator)
One resource not listed in AskA+ collection is Answers@NOAA. Ask and answered questions about weather, meteorology, climate, environment, etc.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
