I like Barry, but I don't think I've ever got a desireable search result from ask.com... Ever!

Begin to decline? I was unaware that they were in a position of such prominence from which to fall.

I honestly thought it had been turned into a domain squatter site by now. Does anyone not jazzed by Diller's Millions even know it exists?

Ask.com doesn't have a revenue model except to collect the monthly check from Google --- an absolutely ghastly way to run a business. Reality is a bitch. Without any proprietary revenue model Ask.com will begin to decline and people will begin to flee. I heard that they are about to shut down their maps/local product and begin using Google's stuff. Ask.com is a fake search engine only in business to drive clicks to Google AdWords.
