Ask.com's Rising Star

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-up dept.

hdtv writes "Fortune magazine takes a look at Ask.com, a site originally designed to respond to queries in human language that grew into a full-blown search engine after the Teoma acquisition. According to Fortune, Ask.com has many features not available with rivals -- topic clusters, quick facts from Wikipedia on the search page, and, (what counts most) fewer ads than any of the rivals. Currently Ask.com maintains 5.9% share, a share that Fortune is sure will grow."

    One of the reasons that I stopped going to ask.com was that I thought the site had too many ads! Ofcourse that was a long time ago, and yeah the competition massively improved...
