    Hey guys,
    Is Answers.com more of a directory? I see that they accept individual sites for submissions.
    Anybody know anything about this site?
    Is it a directory, or a self contained reference type site?

    Any help, or knowledge is appreciate.
    thanks

    My bet is that It would fall into a similar category with wikipedia.

    About

    Seems the majority of their content is from wikipedia and other sources - look at the copyright section at the bottom of their pages.

    To me it seems same content as wiki browsing and searching things in wiki and answers.com same things come up, so if you have a site listed in wiki it will be in answers.com

    I believe that they just mix together a bunch of articles from other sources. I don't think that there's really any original content there.
