Answer Engines

It is the existence of powerful search engines which have made the web so useful. However, finding answers to questions via search engines is a lot less predictable than the older habit of looking up an encyclopaedia. For this reason, 'answer engines' were created. These are like online encyclopaedias which deliver only a few answers but are detailed, usually accurate and useful when you now what you are looking for. However there are other free services using a peer-to-peer approach. One of these  is Wikipedia. If you are an expert in a field, you can submit an article others will check before it is added to the site. Wikipedia is available in over 0 languages. Because it is so open, sometimes material is not as reliable or authoritative as it should be, so it is wise to check before using it.
