    If you don't already know - ASK.com is going to Stop doing search....they want to get more into 'Answers'. (Good luck with that ask! With competitors like yahoo answers and others i dont think they have a shot)


    Whats everyone else think of the latest news from ASK.com?

    Honestly I am almost surprised they have lasted this long. When they were doing the Ask Jeeves thing it was kind of interesting and a good marketing campaign. I was never a fan of either ask or ask jeeves, but I hate seeing all these sites competing with google die off. If they aren't making money what can you expect though. Many popular search engines I used to use are gone, dead, or slowly dying.
