Ask.com is one of the popular search engines and innumerable people makes searches on the website every single day. It was reported a month ago that the website was giving up mostly on the search engine technology and finally deciding to go back to being a question-answer website that it was originally intended to be.
This is a solid decision by the website as users had been complaining about the quality of the question-answers section and wanted the website to return to what it was meant to be and how it had originally been loved at. Ask.com took a foray into the search engine market battle but supposedly has come back with its tail between its legs being intimidated by market leaders like Google and Yahoo.
In the wake of its back to basics routine, Ask.com has released its very first Top 10 questions and answers list. This has happened for the first time since their beta questions and answers (Q&A) community was officially launched back in the moth of July.
The top 10 questions and answers of 2010 on Ask.com:
