As of this weekend, there’s a whole new meaning to ‘follow us for the answers…’
The Answers.com staff are very proud of our speedy colleagues, who made it across the finish line at NYC’s Dash & Splash yesterday. Denise (Graphic Design), Shaya (Product Management) and Julie (Answers.com Francais) ran the 10k race through Central Park, displaying Answers.com pride (and drinking plenty of water):
Shaya, Julie and Denise smile for the paparazzi post-race. After months of training, they did great time: 1:22, 1:19, 1:11 respectively.
Follow them for the answers… and people did! Well, it was a race.
Shaya says that post-Dash, she’s going to continue running; with such a great victory pose, why let it go to waste?
The weather was hot, the spray stations were refreshing, but Denise was the coolest of all – doesn’t she make it look so simple?
Feeling inspired? Get some running tips from Answers.com contributors:
Here at Answers.com, we feel like we are constantly running and running (cue the Black Eyed Peas) – creating new ideas, releasing features, making answers happen…
So it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that our very own Denise (Graphic Design), Shaya (Product Management) and Julie (Answers.com Francais) decided to take that energy and apply it to… actually running – for the New York Road Runners Dash & Splash!
It’s a 10k ‘dash’ happening in New York City’s Central Park tomorrow morning, followed by the ‘splash’ at Lasker Pool. Post-race festivities will take place nearby. You can see more info here.

Our famous pair of Canadian WikiNeighbors are at it again…
This week, Supervisor Jadeacres received an Orange Guy cake baked by Thatwouldbme for his birthday. The flags on the cake have the usernames of 30 of his friends on Answers.com.
So now I have a question: How does orange frosting taste?
And on a separate note, I sense a contest idea brewing…
A little birdie told me freestyling is all the rage.
Another highlight of 140conf this week was the return of our favorite freestylers Flex Mathews and Kosha Dillz. After SXSW, they must have loved their Answers.com t-shirts so much they came back for more.
The 140conf in New York City boasts a lot of speakers, but one in particular caught our eye: Caressa Cameron, Miss America 2010.
The Virginia beauty took a moment to listen to our questions and give answers about, well, questions and answers. Specifically about her experience answering questions during the pageant.
Fun news! Mentoring Program Coordinator Gregg Answerton, I mean, Anderton, I mean Ganderton, has been providing the Mentors and Proteges with presentations as teaching aids for Supervisor-only features.
