Yesterday Liz Strauss and I went to the FOOA (Future of Online Advertising) Conference in the afternoon and the PaidContent.org New York Mixer in the evening.
It was quite a busy day.
We saw Chas Edwards of Federated media at FOOA and we met several people at the mixer.
PaidContent.org and Successful-Blog both covered some of the FOOA sessions.
I’m embarrassed to admit that up until last night I was confusing Ask.com with Answers.com and About.com. We met two people from Answers and I think I’ve got it straight now.
Gina from Answers.com told me about AnswerTips. “An AnswerTips-enabled page allows your visitors to access definitions and fast facts on millions of obscure words, personalities or slang.”
I thought we'd give it a try!
Double click on any word on any Manage To Change page and a small window
will open up giving you a definition (and its source).
There is no visual indication (other than the icon on my sidebar) that AnswerTips is working – just pick a word and see what happens.
Let me know what you think.
Terry - I didn't realize that! We'll definitely give you a shout the next time. We did so much in such a short time that my head is still spinning!

Gosh, you and Liz come to the NY area when I'm out of town! :-( (I'm in Colorado this weekend). Next time let me know - I'm 40 minutes from Manhattan and would love to hook up. Have fun in NY!

Hey Ann,
Thank you for dropping by the site. It was wonderful meeting you at FOOA these past couple of days. You and Liz make quiet a team!
Your quick wit and blunt humor absolutely brightened up the days!
