Don't "Ask Jeeves" for a job

from the the-grinch-really-stole-christmas dept

Ask.com announced today that it is laying off 180 full-time employees. This was immediately following an earnings warning that they weren’t going to meet the numbers forecast for Q4. I actually use the Ask.com service from time to time, but I’m not sure there is a front-end business there. They have a product, in my opinion, not a business.
