Last week Answers Corp Founder and CEO Bob Rosenschein participated on a panel entitled, “Mobile Search and Mobile SEO” at the ThinkMobile Conference in New York City.
Answers Corporation… today reported unaudited results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
“Answers is very pleased to report a milestone quarter and fiscal year,” stated Robert Rosenschein, Chairman and CEO. “Quarterly revenues rose 30% sequentially to $4.63 million, with Adjusted EBITDA reaching $1.95 million, and our cash balance increasing $2 million to $11.74 million.
WikiAnswers continues to be an amazing property. comScore ranked it the fastest growing domain for all of 2008, as measured by percent change in unique monthly visitors for the top 200 US Web domains. Answers’ financial progress is a testament to our focus on the product without losing control of expenses. We look forward to continued growth in 2009 - and to building our value proposition of providing our users useful, relevant, quick answers.”
Then you may be interested in attending (or tuning in to) the 5th Annual Winter Technology Conference, where Answers Corps’ Bruce Smith, Chief Strategic Officer, is presenting. The conference is being held on Monday, March 9th at the Omni Hotel in San Francisco. The Answers presentation is scheduled for 9:30 am PST.
New announcement from Answers Corp today: The company that is all about knowledge-sharing is now extending itself towards helping students acquire further knowledge - with the WikiAnswers Scholarship Program:
“Building a worldwide Q&A community takes a lot of hard work, dedication and knowledge — and it doesn’t only happen on the WikiAnswers site. Knowledge-sharing is a part of who we are every day, which is why Answers Corporation established the $20,000 WikiAnswers Scholarship Fund to provide funds for deserving students.”
Whoa! So here are some of the details, broken down:
The WikiAnswers Scholarship Program plans to award twenty scholarships valued at $1,000 each for use by recipients.
This scholarship is for students planning to be enrolled in undergraduate classes during the 2009-2010 academic year.
