Gulli Leaves Ask.com For Microsoft Bing, Finally Has “Resources”

Aug 31, 2009 at 1:25pm ET by Barry Schwartz

Ten days ago, we reported that Antonio Gulli left Ask.com after 4 years heading up their technology team in the European R&D center. Gulli announced his new plans are to continue in search, but switch ships and work for Microsoft Bing. Gulli said he will be "leading all the engineering development for UX and verticals in Europe," focusing on Microsoft Bing's search technology and user interface. He will be working at Microsoft's London site of STC Europe nearby Carnaby Street. What I found most interesting about his announcement post was that he, in not so many words, explained that he [...]

The Big List Of Search Engines & Their Employees On Twitter

Feb 27, 2009 at 1:30pm ET by Danny Sullivan

Yesterday, Google joined Twitter with a company account. We twittered a few search engine-related addresses as part of our post about that, but we wanted to do one that was a little more organized. So welcome to our big search engine Twitter list! The list isn't complete, nor will it ever be. But that's how it went with blogging. A few years ago, search engines and their employees jumped into the world of blogging (our Search Engine Land blogroll lists a number of these). "Who's blogging" lists soon emerged, until blogging became so mainstream that people stopped bothering to keep track. [...]

Zawodny Leaves Yahoo; Weiner To Go? And Linsley Departs Ask

Jun 12, 2008 at 9:59am ET by Barry Schwartz

Two big names have left Yahoo and Ask and speculation is that a third is to go.

Six Minutes With Former Ask CEO Jim Lanzone

Feb 22, 2008 at 11:43am ET by Greg Sterling

AllThingD's Kara Swisher does a wide ranging video interview with former Ask CEO Jim Lanzone. Among other things, Swisher and Lanzone discuss "the future of search" (at only the very highest level, however). Lanzone discusses Ask3D and the general trend toward introducing more structured and multimedia content into search results, and the movement away from the proverbial "10 blue links." Regarding the Microsoft-Yahoo merger, Lanzone says it will benefit smaller search players in the market. He asserts that Microsoft's cash might be able to fund greater innovation at Yahoo rather than shut [...]
