Here’s a shout out to Crystal, longtime WikiAnswers Community Coordinator, who also manages her Babe of Business blog to share lessons and ideas with entrepreneurs, small business owners and others.

Crystal blogged yesterday about entrepreneurs using WikiAnswers Q&A to read up on sales, marketing, small business and other related topics.

In her own words:

If you’ve never heard of this ingenious Web site it’s a place where knowledge is shared freely in the form of questions and answers. Anyone can ask a question and anyone from anywhere in the world can answer it. And answers can be added to and edited by the community at-large – dubbing it the “Q&A Community.”

If you’re an entrepreneur looking for some new information or looking to get involved in working with the Q&A community, take a look at the rest of Crystal’s post for some suggested Q&A.

On the Answers.com Widget Gallery, which you have undoubtedly visited and used at least 742512346062 times by now, you may have noticed that we used RSS to build the various widgets.

And that’s where Dapper, “The Data Mapper,” came in and swept us off our feet. Dapper “aims to make it easy and possible for anyone to extract and reuse content from any website.”

Essentially, you can take content from anywhere on the web and create your own RSS feeds, flash widgets, Facebook applications, and more, using Dapper’s step-by-step process.

We worked closely with the Dapper folks as we developed our own widgets, and by ‘worked closely,’ I mean bugged them with questions and showered them with compliments.

So, thanks Dapper guys, for “feeding us” our menu of Facebook apps and Blogger, Vox and HTML widgets!

Hey, it’s WikiAnswers on Facebook!

P.S.: Get a Dapper-inspired Facebook app of no.stupid.answers and read us from your profile.
