Answers Corp. acquired WikiAnswers (named FAQFarm at the time) on November 2, 2006.
WikiAnswers used to be FAQFarm, a Q&A site owned by Chris Whitten. Chris sold FAQFarm to the Answers Corp., and they renamed it WikiAnswers (for the wiki format of Answers.com, where anyone can edit a question and answer).
So that it would better reflect the name of the parent company Answers Corp. Personally, WikiAnswers sounds better than FAQfarm.
Yahoo! Answers was released to the public in December 2005. A site called FAQFarm was founded in 2002. This FAQFarm eventually evolved into WikiAnswers, so WikiAnswers is technically older than Yahoo! Answers.
