Answers.com Makes Time's 50


Time Magazine has chosen Answers.com as one of their 50 coolest websites.

was blown away. It's clean layout makes info-finding more fun than Friday night poker. From estorica to everyday matters, the site has something to say on everything.

The shares already trade on the AMEX; rumor has it that they are switching over to the Nasdaq.

Let's hope.

Make sure you check out the Time article:
