Steve Berkowitz Search Quotations

We are excited to be extending the capabilities of the My Way portal platform to Frontier. Like Frontier, My Way is committed to customer satisfaction and continuously delivering a world-class portal with leading content and search services to Frontier's customers.

The unique search experience at Ask.com has resulted in the largest U.S. percentage growth among the major search engines for 2005, and we look forward to bringing that experience to more European users. With the help of Ask.com, Internet users in France, Italy and the Netherlands will now be able to get what they are looking for faster.

Tao's impact at Ask has been immeasurable, due in large part to his role in transforming Ask.com search into one of only four technologies operating at a world-class level today. Tao has been instrumental in pioneering some of the most important developments in the history of search, particularly in the area of large-scale distributed architectures and algorithms, and we look forward to his continued contributions.

The user will benefit from the ability of the technologies to understand more about them to make search more relevant and to make information retrieval more relevant. But it will take time and probably more than people anticipate.

The new Ask.com is the culmination of years of innovation, combining the most advanced core search technology with one-of-a-kind tools that make search better. People deserve a search engine that gives them the tools to get what they need faster, not just a bunch of links on a page. Ask.com takes search to the next level.

Germany has the greatest number of Internet users in Europe, with more than 42 million people online, and we believe it will be a very important market for the growth of Ask search technology and the Ask brand.
