    At a time when search is exploding Jim Lanzone didn’t. Ask.com hasn’t made a drop of progress in years despite a $100M ad campaign. I’ll get my “search” advice from others. Thanks!

    Enhancing user trust, relevancy, and convenience are the future.
    Everything else is technology mumbo jumbo.

    ASK.com has the best collaborative search results and despite the growth in market share they are truly a market leader and innovator. Jim Lanzone deserves the recognition and voice that is being made here and ASK.com is where the future of search is headed,

    I don’t think it matters what other players do in the market.  No one will come close to knocking google off of their game.  They have way to much money and intelligence to be taken over.
