Ask Launches Digg-style News Service
Wednesday, February 6, 2008 By Clay | Comments (0)
There have been rumors for a couple of weeks that IAC has been looking to hire people for a new ‘content’ project launching in the near future. This likely isn’t it but Ask has launched a Digg-style news portal called Ask Big News.
It’s clearly an attempt to combine Techmeme with Digg (I doubt there’s even a relationship with Digg beyond implementation of Digg’s API tools) to present their Moreover feeds in a unique manner. There’s minimal value but at least their not forcing a login to Digg/Track stories.
More coverage at the Silicon Alley Insider and Techcrunch.
Update: Not to be outdone, Google has announced new local features to Google news.
