The website labels itself a "Smart Reference Engine". It is based on a concept that would soon see many clones popping up. Instead of relying on the usual "Type, Search, Click a result" methodology, it displays you the most relevant and factual information about your search from the most reliable sources on the net (Houghton-Mifflin, Columbia University Press, Merriam Webster, MarketWatch, Investopedia and Who2) on a single page. Now there is no need to leave the secure premise of this lovely website, and wander around aimlessly on sites which just found a higher ranking by manipulating the search engines. It breaks the traditional paradigm for seeking information.
A very nifty addon is its 1-click toolbar that integreates with your system, and whenever you [Alt]-click on any word, it gives you more info than you'll need, instantly.
Well, there seems to be no downside to this other than making the cyber potatoes hit the roof of laziness ;)

murdoch is a shrewd businessman.
he is seeing how profitable investing in services for the GenX(sic!) is.
i dont think scout or myspace are going to be that big. many more similar sites already exist. ANSW is definitely going to be big. i cant say anything abt accoona, though.
