The Internet might not hold all the answers to questions about life, the universe, and everything, but Answers Corporation (formerly GuruNet) sure is trying. The company runs Answers.com, a free, ad-supported search service launched in 2005. Unlike competing search engines, Answers.com's search results do not include a page of links; instead they return a snapshot of text culled by editors who use more than 180 sources, including encyclopedias, dictionaries, and atlases. Its WikiAnswers is a dynamic questions and answers Web site collaboratively written and edited by a community of users.
