when they can catch up on other search engine? But I am happy that they are finally stepping up for the company to overpass other search. John's last blog post..Busby SEO Test the hard way

I don’t really know much about the technologies involved but anything that will help to put a little bit more competition in the market can only be a good thing

DADS and DAFS are great technologies indeed as it is more convenient to write direct questions than try to get the proper key words. Well done, Ask.com!

Competition is encouraged in the world of technology in the name of mankind.

It's great to see that Ask is still trying to compete with Google, but I don't think they have much of a chance. In terms of technology, Cuil is probably the only search engine out there that can really compete with Google. Patrick's last blog post..Are We Eating Too Much Meat?

It’s funny that they’re new features allow people to search using questions, when I always viewed that as the basic premise of Ask anyway.

At least somebody else, apart from Google, has new stuff to talk about in the world of search technology…..the direct question comes much more naturally to people than keywords and keyword phrases.

Ask is a useful SE and I am glad that they are improving rather than throw in the towel. This is the advantage when the market leader keeps innovating. Nicole Price's last blog post..New Year Resolutions to Help You Save Money

It appears that everyone is into semantics nowadays. Google is also looking into this lately…

Google has recently mentioned that they are doing some semantic stuffs too. But the funny thing is none of the source pages had any tags that would enable them to process the data. I am yet to see how Ask.com is doing it. I'll check it out later tonight. Saad Kamal's last blog post..Dell.com is Buying Paid Links

Funny. For some reason I thought that the people behind Ask were going to bow out gracefully and get out of search. But I suppose they do offer something that many search engines do not. Although, I have noticed that sometimes Google does answer questions for some unique queries. I wonder what Ask's market share is...
