He made some really good points, which may not be so obvious to users who have tunnel vision with a Google only mentality. I noticed the ability to save results, pictures and upload your bookmarks but didn't think of its value at first. The shorten or broaden your search results is also a very creative and user friendly add on which is very useful as I have used it in the past.
Ask.com seems to be really gaining ground and fast. Unlike MSN and Yahoo, Ask has been working hard, quietly, and very creatively to do their own things and ignore the silly name calling that has been going on.
MSN maps? Yahoo maps? Ya right... Ask.com now has the killer map and direction system. They also have the neat little bar to the left of the screen which is very useful, sleek, and ingenious!
Kudos to everyone at Ask.com for the great work:) My google alternative is coming true:)
This is very true, I like their images way more than Google. I have been looking at ways of getting away from Google for privacy reasons. Using one company for everything isn't a good idea.
Like everything in life, moderation is key.
I will continue to use gmail/gnews but I believe I will switch over to Ask.com for search and the maps since the pictures are at least 50 times better
