Google search technology with Ask’s interface could be cool...
It’s unusual for a sinking ship to throw out the engine. :)
Awww.... I really hope this doesn’t happen. Although I suppose the propsects are not good for Ask/Teoma. It’s a loss to the web community when a search engine bites the dust, no matter that Ask has a small market share. A more homogeneous search culture does not benefit users overall.
I’d hate to see it happen. If only Google would somehow screw up on something so some of their marketshare could go towards Ask but that most likley will not happen.
There goes the consolidation of the market. Yahoo! is barely holding on, Ask might be out. What does that leave the consumer with, Google or Microsoft? With Microsoft’s current search engine sophistication, I can already see Google’s market share apporaching 100% :)
Glad I sold my IACI stock last month.
I guess if you can’t beat them,.... this is bad news though, we’re about to end up with just 2 search engines, Google v. MS/Yahoo
Ask is (maybe) succumbing to Google due to market share not because the engine/index/algo is better... so I don’t understand why they’d think changing the underlying engine/index/algo would help them - other than maybe saving some money since the wouldn’t have to employ engineers in the future.
Looks like this was merely a rumor and has been debunked - http://sphinn.com/story/32010.
I wonder if the top lawyer for Google will come out with a statement saying he is "concerned" about consolidation in the search market (http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9863861-56.html) like he did by the Yahoo/Microsoft merger. Doubt it :).
