I was walking through the expo hall, which I rarely do, and I spotted at the Ask.com booth this sign.

Ask.com Mocks Yahoo

You read that? “My company just gave up on search. Where do I work now” and then the URL at the bottom. That is Ask.com being funny and then trying to pick up Yahoo Search employees. I am also being told that they are giving away bars of chocolate that say the same line.

Yea, Yahoo did give up on search but I also personally believe Ask.com has also given up on search.
