Theres a company I would love to shake up.

Every time I've used ask.com I'm surprised on how far forward they have not gone since the last time I tried it! It claims to answer most common questions, but it seems like a poor search engine with a little tiny bit of extra intelligence.

A message for ask.com - stop your rebranding/marketing ideas and get some really smart developers to work on the background engine.

There is so much they could do with this. Such a big future if they just look ahead to what people are looking for in a search/ask engine.

A good option would be a deal with Wolfram alpha. Take Wolfram's engine and bring it to a more social level. Mix that up with some web results and they would be on to a real winner.

The concept of ask.com is good, but they really need to deliver a website that meets user expectations.
