Answers Corporation (NASDAQ: ANSW), creators of the leading answer
engine offering Answers.com(tm) and WikiAnswers.com(tm), today announced its
first AnswerThon(tm), to be held March 1st and 2nd, 2008. AnswerThon
contestants will tackle questions on WikiAnswers, the user-generated
content, community-based Q&A site of Answers.com. WikiAnswers
registered contributors can learn more and sign up at
http://wiki.answers.com/static/answerthon.html

During the AnswerThon, registered contributors will answer as many
questions as possible over 48 hours, sharing their knowledge and
competing for prizes. Answers must be original work and can address
unanswered questions in any of WikiAnswers' 2,406 categories.
Participants can also correct or improve existing incorrect answers.

"We're excited about the upcoming event," said Jay Bailey, Director of
Community Development for WikiAnswers. "WikiAnswers is extremely
active as it is, but introducing some competition is an exciting way
to spread the enthusiasm and promote worldwide knowledge sharing. New
contributors have just as good a chance as veterans, and grandparents
can leverage their life experience to compete against their
grandchildren."

The winner and first two runners-up will receive Amazon gift
certificates of various amounts. All prize winners, and the next ten
runners up, will receive WikiAnswers T-shirts.
