Ask.com Acquires Dictionary.com, Reference.com, and Thesaurus.com
 
Askquisition

Looks like they've decided to redefine themselves as a reference tool.

Great to see Ask.com realizing they needed to do something if they want to maintain or gain market share in their very competitive market. I'm a big fan of these sites and look forward to seeing what Ask.com can do to improve on them.

Hopefully they won't pull a broadcast.com on these (like I'm sure Yahoo would find a way to accomplish)! :notme:

Awesome news for Ask.com. Most people I know went from ask to Google. Now at least they will have more opportunities. Never knew about Broadcast.com
