Answers.com Adds New Ready Reference Content to Database
It's great to see that Answers.com, a "ready reference" service with a growing database of factual information from a wide variety of sources continues to add new content and sources to their database on a very regular basis. Several new "answer" sources have already been added this month. They include:
+ Pop Artists via AMG Pop Artist Bios (e.g. Stevie Wonder, Tori Amos, Pearl Jam...)
Look for bios and discographies. AMG stands for All Music Guide a wonderful reference tool and a favorite site of mine. Btw, AllMusic now contain info on classical music and performers. More about what the AllMusic site itself offers here.
+ Fast Facts - Interesting trivia (e.g. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley...)
+ Western Birds - Souurce: Peterson Field guide to Western birds (e.g. bar-tailed godwit, yellow-headed parrot, ringed-turtle dove...)
+ Rocks and Minerals - Source: Peterson Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals (e.g. gold, opal, sulfur...)
+ Botanical Glossary: - Source: Glossary for Taylor's Guide to Annuals (e.g. lateral bud, two-lipped, ray flower...)
