Thanks for posting that, TeMerc.
This is a complicated piece -- so many of Ask's practices calling for investigation, documentation, and criticism. I'm here to answer questions if any arise. Meanwhile, Ask has yet to offer a response or statement of any kind. |

No problem, Ben any time.
And I suppose they will ignore this as they did the Stopbadware post too.
The guilty can't say much in the face of proof, now can they?

More from BillP, and he links to Ben's article and Suzi's interview as well.

What is Zwinky?
“It’s a world of fun. All in one toolbar.”
I recently wrote about Zwinky and how it installs the MyWebSearch Tool bar from a company called IAC Interactive. While I recommended folks remove the MyWebSearch Toolbar it didn’t seem to bother Ask.com which is also owned by IAC.
I found this week that going to Ask.com and entering “What is Zwinky” the top listing isn’t the Zwinky website. Instead the top listing is a link to my Bits from Bill Blog. Now that’s what I call a FunWebProduct! |
