Ask Gets Fancy With AskCity

Ask.com launched AskCity, a new local city search portal that bridges together many of IAC's properties into one. Greg Sterling has an excellent write up at Search Engine Land. I got a personal review of AskCity last Friday, the cool AJAX features, point to point to point directions, cool set of features, data and usability were impressive to say the least. The "snapshot" feature is pretty cool as well, I always want to hold a position of a map and possibly use it later.

In any event, Ask sent be a full user guide on AskCity that I think I can post now. It shows all the details of the new portal, this way I don't miss anything. You can download the PDF file over here.
