SAN DIEGO, Sep 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ANSW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- At the annual DEMOfall Conference today, Answers Corporation (NASDAQ:ANSW) announced the launch of the new Answers.com(R), the Web's leading Q&A site. According to comScore, the Answers.com properties received 45 million unique visitors last month in the U.S. alone, ranking them #18.

New Answers.com combines the power of the company's WikiAnswers(R) community-driven content with hundreds of expert resources from licensed content on ReferenceAnswers(TM). Users can ask anything and automatically receive the best available answer, which could be user-generated or from an editorial resource. Through the contributions of a large and growing community, answers can be edited and improved over time.

"No one else is taking Answers.com's unique approach on the Web, which combines the power of a wiki community with hundreds of trusted editorial sources," said Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO Conferences. "While getting a response through a personal social network of friends might be useful, it has limitations, compared to an efficient global question and answer exchange. The new Answers.com combines user-generated answers with expert licensed sources under one roof to give users a fast and trusted response to their questions."

"For several years, we have been quietly building our database, which now exceeds five million answers, and community, with over 3.4 million registered members," said Bob Rosenschein, Founder and CEO. "The combination of our editorial resources with our wiki platform makes us unique in the Q&A space."

Additionally, four new language versions are now available for questions and answers. The new international versions are:

-- Spanish: http://es.answers.com

-- French: http://fr.answers.com

-- Italian: http://it.answers.com

-- German: http://de.answers.com

To watch the company's onstage presentation at the conference, please visit www.demo.com shortly before 11:48 a.m. EDT (8:48 a.m. PDT) on Wednesday, September 23.
