They’ve done a great job, and I’m continually impressed with their growth. Faqfarm wasn’t much of a service (in my view) but by acquiring it and leveraging their large reach, they’ve been able to consistantly stay ahead of Answerbag (which would have been the #2 Q&A site behind Answers.com, until they bought faqfarm).
