Ask.com’s Search Predictions are Comedy Gold

3:55AM Adam Frucci | The folks over at Crave discovered that Ask.com’s new search algorithm gives you some pretty questionable suggestions when you type in the beginning of questions. To answer your question, getting preggers in a hot tub all depends on how virile you are. Consider that a challenge. Another challenge: find the most ludicrous suggestion it gives and post it in the comments. [Ask.com via Crave] More »

Ask.com Brings Anonymous Searching With AskEraser

5:10AM jenneth | Ask.com isn’t quite getting the traction it needs to overpower Google in the search arena with the weird algorithm ads, so it’s besting Google in another arena: privacy. By providing a tool called AskEraser, Ask will allow users to perform internet searches—googling, if you will—without storing any of the search information server side. This is one of privacy fans’ big complaints about Google, which recently shortened the span it keeps anonymous search data to 18 months. So if you’re going to search for something you shouldn’t be searching for, Ask has you covered. [Ask via Ars Technica] More »
