by Gilad on October 25th, 2005

Wikipedia and Answers.com announced a new partnership that will feature 1-click access to wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Answers, on their side will create a software version of their database which will be called 1-Click Answers, Wikipedia Edition.

Revenues are said to be split between the companies.

“We are pleased to partner with Answers.com, encouraging software that improves access to Wikipedia,” said Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder and Wikimedia Foundation President. “Bob Rosenschein and his team have created an innovative technology which helps users click on any word in any application to look it up in Wikipedia. We expect that our users will appreciate the extra convenience.”
