I was just Twitterring about this with Barry Shwartz and he suggested I move my discussion here. So if Ask goes bye bye, what is to become of thier Direct Hit technology. I believe it has kept them afloat for years. And surely the big 3, whom the've leased the valuable click data too, do not want to lose access to it. My tests from only 10 months ago showed that click data was still being used in the search algos, at least at Google.
