AskJeeves Steps Into RSS with Bloglines Acquisiton

Posted by timothy on from the almost-but-not-completely-unlike-tea dept.

Sugarpimp writes "According to several sources, AskJeeves has stepped into the deep end of the blogging pool with an interesting acquisition. Bloglines is one of the premier RSS readers. Perhaps AskJeeves will be able to legitimize itself again in the crowded search market by integrating Bloglines into its suite of products."

    I was having a bad day with google, and I was getting really frustrated. I submitted:

    "How the fuck can I get /boot to mount by default on gentoo?"

    It came back with a bunch of pr0n because of the F word...mount probably didn't help either :|

    Either they upgraded their search engine or they read slashdot.
