AOL Buys Q&A Provider Yedda

AOL announced that it has acquired Israeli Q&A provider Yedda for an undisclosed sum. Comparable in many respects to Yahoo Answers, Yedda bills itself as a next generation “semantic” Q&A service. AOL will more broadly integrate the functionality into a number of its sites and properties, as Yahoo has with Answers. The release also suggests that search and answers, via Yedda, will be integrated to some degree in the future.
