ADVERTISE 
MOBILE As one of the top brands for online Q&A, Ask.com has spent the last 15 years committed to its mission of increasing personal knowledge by empowering people with answers. In July 2010, Ask.com launched a newly-designed Q&A service which combines the power of search with the insight of a live user community. As the only Q&A service blending search with answers from real people, Ask.com is uniquely able to both scour the web to discover answers when they exist online, then turn to a qualified Ask.com user when they don't. Unlike traditional search engines, Ask.com's proprietary search technology is fine-tuned to discover and extract real answers to questions, providing a true answer on the results page, not just 10 blue links. For questions better addressed by a real person, Ask.com uses specialized routing technology to ensure the question is matched with the most relevant user in its growing community. Ask.com is now available as a mobile app, enabling users to receive fast, credible answers delivered right in the palm of their hands.
