Answers Corporation, the company that owns answers.com has just announced the purchase of Lexico Publishing Group, the owners of dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, and reference.com for $100 million. The deal is said to be contingent on the raising of funds and since Answers is said to have had $4.2 million in cash as of March 31, it may take a while. Still the sum is reminiscent of the bubble days of the late 90's. What does that kind of money buy you? About 11 million users a month.
