AskJeeves has bought BlogLines.com, which is a comprehensive, integrated service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing news feeds, blogs, and rich Web content. The services is similar to Google’s Blogger.com so the “No search engine left behind” agenda continues.
While AskJeeves tends to be a follower, rather than a leader, they have a strong following of loyal Jeevers who want to see them become the fourth major player in the search engine wars. Even though AskJeeves may not be the first to grab hold of new trends and technology, they do make some strong moves in competing with the Big Guys and buying BlogLines is one of them.
According to the AskJeeves blog, if you are one of the first 200 people to send them a email, you’ll receive a free “I Love Bloglines” t-shirt.
In other news, I’ve come across a great new website that is actively looking for writers, artists, photographers and musicians to contribute and get paid for their works. Yes, paid!
Check out Freelance Writers Market Resource Self Publishing Provider – Associated Content for more information on submitting your work and getting paid for it.
Geez, everytime I see blogs this good I just want mine to be there already! 🙂 Great work.
