When looking at Ask.com compared to Google, Ask looks like a failure, but I wouldn't mind being the Ask.com of online video guides.
It's still one of the top 50 sites worldwide (according to Alexa at least), with a fraction of the employees of google and a pretty good demographic of users who click on ads. Its history may not be stellar but as a business, it's not a bad company.
