Description:

 

On the surface, they appear similar to wikipedia.com, except that they have advertising

 

Hoovers description: Prepositionally inclined About wants to be your online guru. Through its About.com portal the company offers a network of topic-specific Web sites grouped into channels such as arts, hobbies, shopping, and sports on more than 57,000 topics. The site employs human guides, or "topical advisors" in each field -- which About describes as the "heart and soul" of its business -- to create its content. A free site, About.com generates revenue from advertisers trying to reach the more than 29 million people that visit the Web site monthly. The company, once part of publisher PRIMEDIA, was acquired by The New York Times Company in 2005.
