Web Search: More Good Press for Ask.com
First, Mr. Bill Gates has good things to say about Ask at the D Conference last week.

Next, Ask.com: Google’s up-and-coming rival
From the article, “Jim Lanzone, Ask.com’s hyper-enthusiastic CEO, has a simple explanation: “What really differentiates us is our focus on search. Other companies are partnering with content companies and launching wi-fi networks. But we’re not building a rocket ship. We’re building a better car. It’s not what people will want in five years. It’s what they want now.”

Postscript to the Library Community from Gary: Although ResourceShelf remains INDEPENDENT of my role at Ask as Director of Online Information Resources (note we still cover all engines big and small), I am here to demo and discuss Ask.com services with others in the library and online info world. We would love to hear from you. Email about Ask.com should go to this address gary.price@ask.com. While I can’t promise a detailed reply to each email, I’ll do my best to get it to the right person in an expedited manner.
