Ask.com Offers Google Alternative

Posted by Tish Grier

JD Lasica recommends searchers ditch the Google habit in favor of new and improved Ask.com: "First, check out Ask's new, spare home page, with an Ajax-powered mini-directory at the right (go ahead, drag and drop to change the order of the listings).

Next, click on Blogs & Feeds, enter a term, and behold the tabs at the top of the results page: Posts, Feeds and News. Nice!"

JD also finds the Maps feature "most impressive" and says it "blows" away both Mapquest and Google Maps : "Want to get somewhere on the map. You don't even have to type in the address — just right-click it. You can enter up to 10 locations on your route. Another nifty feature: walking directions! Forget the one-way streets, this is heaven for hikers. "
