Ask Launches New Blog Search Engine I had word last week from the good folks at Ask about the launch of their new blog search engine. Unfortunately, I was down for the count last week with the flu, and have yet to have a chance to delve into Ask's latest offering.

It looks like I'm not the only one to see the potential benefit of an Ask run blog search engine though...Andy Beal over at Marketing Pilgrim has loads of great things to say about the service.
