Ask.com Acquires Dictionary.com, Other References
Ask.com has bought a stable of Internet reference sites that includes Dictionary.com in its latest effort to distinguish itself from online search leader Google Inc. and other much larger rivals.
Besides Dictionary.com, Ask is picking up Thesaurus.com and Reference.com in its acquisition of Lexico Publishing Group LLC. Terms of the deal, set to be announced Thursday, aren’t being disclosed.
With the addition of the widely used reference tools, Ask hopes to make more money showing ads to people looking for answers to basic questions. “We want to ’super serve’ those people,” said Jim Safka, who runs Ask for its corporate parent, IAC/InterActiveCorp.
More than 30 percent of the search requests entered on Ask are seeking reference material, Safka said.
The sharper focus on reference tools doesn’t mean Ask is abandoning its role as a “general, multipurpose search engine,” Safka said. “This (acquisition) isn’t all we are going to do. It’s the first tangible piece of the puzzle.”
Without providing specifics, Safka indicated Oakland-based Ask also will take measures to highlight more information about entertainment and health issues.
When Ask trimmed its work force by about 8 percent in March as part of a shake-up, the company’s officials indicated the search engine had decided to would return to its roots as answering straightforward questions. Ask officials also said the search engine would start catering to its core audience of women.
In a Wednesday interview, Safka said The Associated Press and other media misinterpreted the search engine’s intent. He said it would be “myopic and inaccurate” to think of Ask as a specialty search engine.
Ask plans to plant some of its search engine results on the reference sites in an effort to expose its technology to an even wider audience.
Dictionary.com is the most popular of the newly acquired reference sites, drawing 22.1 million visitors worldwide in March, according to… See headlines and more here…….

Building on the success of its Wii game console, Nintendo has launched WiiWare, a software service for games. Wii owners who have their machines hooked up to an Internet connection will be able to download games from both large developers and small shops. As a game service, WiiWare competes with services on other consoles, such as Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade and Sony’s PlayStation Store.
“By reducing the barriers that make console game development prohibitively expensive,” the company said, “WiiWare showcases original ideas in the most democratic environment in industry history.”
Nintendo Executive Vice President Cammie Dunaway told news media, “WiiWare is to the game industry what independent films are to Hollywood.”
To download WiiWare games, users go to the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop channel, pick the game, redeem Wii Points, and begin to download. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop channel or at stores. Parental controls are available. New games are added weekly, and users can see videos of WiiWare games on the Nintendo Channel.
The launch of WiiWare will be accompanied by an inaugural lineup of six games, including Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, LostWinds, Defend Your Castle, Pop, V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack, and TV Show King. Prices are $15 for Crystal Chronicles, $10 for Lost Winds and TV Show King, $7 for Pop and Casino, and $5 for Defend Your Castle.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles from Square Enix draws on an established franchise to create a simulation game in which players must rebuild a kingdom and lead a king on a path of discovery.
Frontier Development’s LostWinds gives the player the power of a weather god. The user can control winds ranging from tornadoes to breezes, all the while maneuvering through jumps, enemies, friends and puzzles.
