WikiAnswers is a wiki-based website where visitors contribute what they know and ask about what they don't. Anyone can ask or answer a question. Here's a place to dump all your seemingly useless knowledge. Since the site is a wiki, anyone can improve the answer. It's a group effort -- all working toward creating the one correct, expert answer. WikiAnswers has 2,460 community-grown Q&A collections. Today, there are over 610,663 members now working on 1,928,979 questions. Their motto: WikiAnswers: Q&A, the Wiki way. On March 1-2, WikiAnswers is hosting the WikiAnswers AnswerThon. An AnswerThon is an organized event designed to foster the sharing of knowledge on WikiAnswers. During 48 hours, participants will answer as many questions as they can to spread knowledge and to win prizes (of course!) The contest is on NOW! It began at midnight (ET) and concludes at midnight on Sunday night. Only answers posted during this 48-hour timeframe will be counted in the contest. Ok, you are probably thinking, besides the sheer pleasure of sharing my knowledge, what's-in-it-for-me? Tell me more about those prizes!
- 1st place winner who answers the most questions in 2 days will be crowned the AnswerThon Champion and receives a $500 Amazon gift certificate
- 2nd place - $250 Amazon gift certificate
- 3rd place - $100 Amazon gift certificate
All winners (including the next 10 runner ups) will receive WikiAnswers t-shirts. Don't forget to read all the rules!
