http://spacecowboys.org/articles/2006/11/16/oogling en-us 40 With 8ball taking a short hiatus I offer you this brief discussion (okay, my rant) before divulging all of the great info you will need regarding events featuring Space Cowboys for the next few weeks. <br><br> Driving through or past downtown Oakland some of you may have noticed the prominent ASK sign on the top of the skyline. It looks like Ask Jeeves, but the Jeeves is missing. They sent Jeeves packing and are apparently now on their own in the Asking department. Unfortunately for Ask, they don't have a chance in the search engine market to infiltrate the catchy lingo so common to our dot.com capital. Googling has become as common a verb in the bay area as Barting. Google is taking over the world, but Ask.com plugs along as part of the engine that could with their little family of Excite, Evite, & iWon.coms. Asking is never going to be synonymous with searching the internet. Everyone googles themselves, it just isn't as fun to ask yourself. <br><br> Googling what to do this holiday season??? <br><br> xx<br> Andrea Thu, 16 Nov 2006 20:16:00 -0800 urn:uuid:f7c4f9c9-3b3d-4ee6-95bd-e85aeb3aa13d 8Ball http://spacecowboys.org/articles/2006/11/16/oogling
