This is one to watch...It could take off in a big way.

Quite interesting, but for now I think I will stick to Google as they are current leaders in the search industry and will be for some time IMO, thats not to say that this wont succeed, but until then I'll keep my options open.

I just remember reading a well published article of a very similar nature (quite a few years ago now, cant remember exact date, maybe 4 years? I think it was back in 05 upon some takeover talk or something) where Ask was supposed to be the next big rival for the 'big 3', they claimed to have had the technology that will put Google to shame. Quite a few years on and although they have never faultered from their 'then' position, they dont seem to have caught up any either.

But then again, this IS Microsoft we are talking about

Thanks for the update though, much appreciated. I will be adding it to my newsreader for now

<edit> For my reckoning, they shoulda called it Microsoft Bling
