News Related to the Web Hosting Industry

New York, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 26, 2006 - Search engine firm, Answers Corporation, has been chosen by CBSNews.com, for its AnswerTips, a new search mechanism reference tool, designed for users to obtain additional information on select CBSNews.com content.

In addition, CBSNews.com will provide headlines as well as breaking and current news stories to the Answers.com website. This is the first-ever web-based implementation of AnswerTips, which is typically available only through Answers.com's downloadable software, 1-Click Answers. It will be one of many tools on CBSNews.com that allow users to dig deeper, learning more about subjects and topics in the news. AnswerTips joins other CBSNews.com features, including CBS News FYI, a daily fact-sheet that provides background and history for stories covered on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC.

Combined with content rich CBSNews.com interactives, CBS News FYI and AnswerTips are a direct response to viewers' desire for more context and background information on CBS EVENING NEWS stories. This interactive tool is accessed on CBSNews.com by simply pressing and holding the ALT key while clicking on any word or phrase of interest. A co-branded AnswerTips information window will open instantly, providing definitions, biographies, historical background, maps and countless other relevant information on nearly four million topics.
