Do you like it that information is controlled by one organisation?

Great question, but wrong answer. Turns out that this iniative is sponsored by www.ask.com to gain market share from the unnamed dominant search engine. How cheap.

Nice move, in my opinion. As much as I like Google, I am not very fond of monopolies.

Reinier, I do not like monopolies either. Ask does ask a good question, but is it right that an other search engine is behind the question?
How good is ask if they edit the comments on their site? Just scroll through the comments and you will see:

'There is nobody there at the weekend to edit the comment'

And I saw other comments on there, this sunday.
