On cycles, growth, pirates and speed.

November 6th, 2009 by Liz

The question-answering process is actually a cycle of growth: You ask a question, and get an answer, but that leaves you with so many new questions. Which grow into a new cycle. Of growth. And so on.

Like, for instance: Who is more powerful, ninjas or pirates?

Obviously the answer is ninjas, but why? Some say speed, others say the slick black outfits. But then why black? Why not green? And how speedy is speedy enough to defeat a pirate, what with his parrot and funky accent?

WikiAnswers needs new pants… already???

June 13th, 2008 by Liz

Online Media Daily reports today in a news brief that WikiAnswershad the biggest traffic gain in the last year among the Internet’s top 100 sites–growing 520% to 10.3 million monthly visitors, according to new research from media-buying agency ZenithOptimedia.”

520%!? I didn’t know percents went that high.

This report tells me a few things:

  1. I need to review percentages. Is that sixth grade material or grad school?
  2. WikiAnswers is growing so big so rapidly, soon it’s going to need new pants. How do these kids grow so fast?
  3. It’s just getting more and more awesome to track WikiAnswers on a daily basis. We hope you’ll agree.
