Ask.com Unveils New Site

Ask.com, the number one brand for questions and answers online and an operating business of IAC IACI, today launched a new version of Ask.com squarely focused on answering questions. The new site is the first step in a multi-pronged strategy to deliver users answers – not just links – to all of their questions, whether from content already published across the Web, or from previously unpublished knowledge shared by any of the millions of Ask.com users. For the first time, Ask will combine its proprietary search technology, specifically tailored to extract questions and answers from Web content, with the ability to draw on the Ask.com community to address questions for which no published answers exist. "Ask's heritage has always been about answering questions – in fact, more people associate Ask with answering questions than any other brand in the world," said Doug Leeds, President, Ask.com, US.
