Ask YC: Ask.com -- Why don't we use it?
I recently rediscovered Ask.com and wondered to myself what I found unappealing about it all. After all, as nice as it looks and as functional as it is, I was still loathe to adopt it.
But then I realized why: I use Gmail. I don't like having to go to a different site to use my mail. I also use iGoogle and read my news. I can't get out of using it all.
So that leads me back to the question, why don't YOU use it? Same reason?
Why doesn't ask.com start providing email services and personalized accounts?
- gasull 18y agoWhy do you use it? Do you get better results than with Google? "Why not" is not a reason.
- azharcs 18y agoI tried Ask.com when they redesigned the whole site. Their search is not very good, but i know lot of people using them. I recently started using Yahoo as my default search, results are way better than Google. Try it out for yourself.
- cjoh1111 18y agoI don't use ask.com because they index less pages more slowly and not as well.
