Like other blogs before it, AskJeeves has busted into the blogging arena. Erik Collier, Data Engineering Manager, has posted the first of many blog articles (blarticles?) giving a little history of AskJeeves and talking about the company’s recent move to downtown Oakland, California.
Included in the blarticle are photos of the new AskJeeves facility and surrounding area. The AskJeeves blog has a hip and informative feel about it and rivals the looks and feel of the Yahoo! blog while clearly outdoing the Google blog (which is odd since google own blogger.com but doesn’t appear to use it in their blog).
The Yahoo! blog has their own Erik as well as Erik Gunther, Yahoo! Buzz Index Editor weighs in on Sundance searching and even Google has their own form of Erik, though, spelled “Eric” as one blog entry says “Thanks, Eric!” for his contribution.
Also of note is that AskJeeves has joined in and uses the rel=”nofollow” tag on their comments entries which the other big players have also recently implemented. This tag discourages blog spamming from hit and runners who like to seed their Viagra (or whatever) links all over the Internet.
Anyway, the AskJeeves blog is worth checking out and hopefully more information about the company and the products that are in the pipeline will follow.
Is their a search engine blog “Erik(c)” phenomenon? I guess we’ll need to wait to see if a MSN Erik emerges onto the scene.
alright so i stumbled upon your site from this other site that spoke about some diet solutions? Anyways, i took the time to read your page but i’m slightly confused… Either way, you’re a great writer and i wanted to take the effort to write a thank you! I’ve bookedmarked your site for future reference.
Many thanks for another beneficial web page about Ask. Where else could I find that kind of info written such a great way? I’ve a project that I’m just now focusing on, and I’ve been on the consider this kind of information.
