What do you think of all those 'lawsuits' - folks thinking it's worth $15? or $1.50? heh

Answers didn't quite work out as I expected either; however, it didn't do too bad either. Management made some blunders imo, but they adapted and did 'stay focus' once they got on the wiki answer train.......that probably 'saved' them imo......

Folks can learn a lot about 'staying' focus in business....odds increase that something good may come from it imo........

Answers.com Agrees to be Acquired for $127 Million in Cash: $10.50 per Share

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Answers.com, (NASDAQ:ANSW - News), creators of the leading answer engine Answers.com®, today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by AFCV Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of growth equity investor Summit Partners, for a total cash consideration of approximately $127 million. AFCV will acquire all outstanding shares of Answers.com common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B convertible preferred stock. Under the terms of the agreement, Answers.com common stock shareholders will receive $10.50 in cash for each outstanding share of common stock they own.

"This is a great outcome for our shareholders,โ€ said Bob Rosenschein, Founder, Chairman and CEO. โ€œAfter an exciting six years as a public company, we are very pleased to achieve considerable value for our investors. The acquisition price of $10.50 per share represents a significant cash premium of approximately 33% over our 90-day volume-weighted average closing stock price."



Mr. Rosenschein continued, โ€œThis agreement is also a positive for our community members. The integrity and commitment of our company to our products remain unchanged, as we continue our mission of creating the ultimate destination for answers."



The board of directors of Answers.com has unanimously approved the merger with AFCV Holdings, LLC and recommends that the stockholders of Answers.com vote to adopt the merger agreement.

UBS Investment Bank is acting as exclusive financial advisor and Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel, LLC as legal advisor to Answers.com. Jefferies & Company, Inc. is serving as financial advisor and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation as legal advisor to AFCV Holdings.

Here's another really super duper informative answer from 2 days ago. So glad they asked.

Maybe they should change their name to "we have no freaking idea dot com"?

How did the Oscar get its name? There are a few stories as to how the Academy Award statuette came to be called Oscar:
? Margaret Herrick, the librarian and executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said that the statuette reminded her of her Uncle Oscar.
? Bette Davis claimed she noted aloud the resemblance of Oscar's backside to that of her husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson.
? The first documented mention of the name was in 1934, when columnist Sidney Skolsky referred to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress Oscar. He says he was tired of writing "the Golden Statue of the Academy," and fell back on the name Oscar from an old vaudeville joke he had heard.
However it got its name, the movie industry's most famous trophy will be awarded tonight to this year's winners, as ABC-TV broadcasts the 82nd Academy Awards. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, co-stars of the romantic comedy It's Complicated, will co-host the show.

Nah, nobody is interested in "answers dot com" except as it shows up in internet search results for no reason, with useless information, and consistently quoting wikipedia.

Anybody who thinks people are interested in asking questions and getting answers from teenagers who get points for them is seriously wrong in the head.

Here's today's "Answer of the day".

It's "Do vampires really exist? Are they one more thing to worry about?" LOL well I guess stupid people gravitate to stupidity.

http://www.answers.com/topic/wednesday-march-10-2010-from-today-s-highlights-archive

Answer of the Day
Do vampires really exist? Are they one more thing to worry about? It depends on whom you ask. Vampires have long been a part of the folklore of certain areas, particularly in parts of Eastern Europe. Made famous in modern times by Bram Stoker's Dracula, vampires were betrayed as horrific characters who terrorized the townspeople, rising at night to suck the blood of their victims, thus turning the victims into vampires, too. Stories also exist of people having witnessed the aftermath of a vampire attack. Nowadays, books, movies and TV are filled with vampires and werewolves, and some, such as Twilight's Edward Cullen, are even sympathetic characters. On this date in 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on TV, mixing wit, teenage angst and B-movie drama in a popular series about a high-school student who is chosen to slay the vampires that inhabit her town.
Quote
"I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow." โ€” Bela Lugosi

Man, I used to trade this stock all the time. I never bought into the homerun potential story though. Just checked it out after 5 or 6 months and it's still about the same price What a great story. Traffic, social networking, great Wiki site, Q&A growing etc. And they still can't make any real money. What a shame. But, you have to admit both sites are pretty cool. Probably will get bought after Facebook finally goes public,but who has time to watch paint dry.

Amazing to see this stock waffle into its decline. Anybody who watches it could see the slow and steady tank. What a mistake to buy in at any time. The only reason this stock ever went up was from a pump and dump, and that's all over.

I get them in search results all the time. "Hey, what is the best way to steam broccoli?"

"Well, heat some hot water in a basket, put the broccoli on top, put on a cover and wait 6 minutes and it's done!"
