Shocking news from the SEW Blog, Ask.com Chief Steve Berkowitz Jumps Ship To Microsoft's MSN. I personally didn't see it coming. The CEO of one of the fourth ranking search engine, Ask.com, has left to join the third ranking search engine, MSN Search. Wow! He will officially leave Ask.com May 8th. Who will replace him, still is yet to be decided. I will hold my comments on how this will affect Ask.com, until they name a successor.
