We got a lovely thank you note from our Answer Monster winner, Mackenzie Murphy, owner (and tamer) of the iPod Shuffle we raffled at the Answers.com House Party last week. So glad to see the itty-bitty music machine is in great hands!
On another note, I think this wins ‘best handwriting ever’ award…
Use it in good music, Mackenzie!
So before our house party last week, we invited anyone who couldn’t physically make it to midtown Manhattan last Thursday to send in postcards, images, or messages to represent themselves at the party.
And people sure did! Thanks to all the fans of Answers.com who sent us a lil piece of love to brighten our halls during (and after) the party last week.
Here’s a sampling of the love we got – too warm and fuzzy not to share. Check out the Facebook album for more.
Thanks, @keith_stewart – we loved having you there!
Thanks to everyone who planned, attended and ‘virtually’ participated in the Answers.com House Party last night! If pictures are any proof, it seems everyone had a great time, meeting local folks, chatting with the team, checking out the new office, getting a photo opp with the Orange Guy… and more.
Check ‘em out below… More photos in the Facebook album.
Matthew and Chris chat aside the Orange Guy.
Party people!

A word from the winner:
Everyone gets a goodie bag!
Hey ya’ll!
Just a quick reminder that our House Party is this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. We’re celebrating our new remodeled digs with drinks, food and fun. And by fun we mean free booze and a gadget raffle!
A certain social networking site you may have heard of is hosting their own new office party this week too. But get this: you have to pass a test to get in! Our shindig ain’t like the Ivy League – you won’t find guest lists or bouncers. Everyone’s invited – friends, family, neighbors… Hey, even your hairdresser can tag along. Word has it that even some of Answers.com’s venerable Supervisors are showing up!
So cancel your plans to watch The Office (it’s a rerun anyway!) and head on over to our office! See ya there…
Answers.com House Party
237 West 35th Street, Suite 1103
New York, NY 10001
6:30 to 10 p.m.
P.S. Can’t make it? Send us virtual love!
A few weeks ago, we asked you “Why do you use Answers.com?” Aside from it being fun to post polls, we really did want to hear your feedback and comments on the topic – it makes our world go ’round!
Seriously, in the last week, all your helpful, encouraging and constructive feedback was shared with the community and product teams behind Answers.com. We hope that anytime you have an idea, suggestion or request, you’ll feel free to express it here on no.stupid.answers, or on Answers.com’s Community Forum.
Now, down to business. We got dozens of votes and comments, which are now shared directly on the Answers.com version of the Q&A: Why do you use Answers.com?
As of today, the latest poll results include:
You can actually continue to vote and leave comments on the original post or the Q&A.
By the way, another interesting Q&A related to the topic is: Why ask the Answers.com community when you could find an answer by using a search engine?
Big thanks to all of you!
Getting your party pants on for the Answers.com House Party next Thursday? We sure are.
