Is the new look ASK.com answering all the right questions?

By Simon van Wyk

At last something different is happening in the world of search interfaces.

Ask.com has released a new look interface which radically changes the presentation of answers by a major search engine.

The search query answers are displayed in a three-panel screen that includes standard links to search results, lists of related searches and results from blogs, as well as video, photo, news and shopping sites.

Ask’s new interface is unlikely to have a significant impact on the world of search, but kudos to them for introducing something new.
