Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the head-to-head-face-to-face dept.

Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "Ask Jeeves has been overhauled and renamed Ask.com. The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg tested the new site against Google and found that Ask.com holds its own and even beats the search champ in some cases. 'It has some very nice features Google lacks, including previews of the sites it finds, an easy way to narrow or broaden your search results, and frequent top-of-the-screen answers that lead you directly to core information,' Mossberg writes."

    I made some nice animations of the way the some sites have changed their layout (google, ask and altavista). Both altavista and ask are turning more and more google like.
