Nick Gonzales over at TechCrunch is reporting that Answers.com (formerly GuruNet) has purchased the parent company of Dictionary.com for $100M.

This is far from an ordinary Internet acquisition for an Israeli company, even for a company listed on the NASDAQ (ANSW) with a market cap of $101.31M.

Update: Michael Eisenberg writes why “Why Answers.com is Not Completely Crazy“.
