IAC: Ready To Bail On Ask? from Silicon Valley Insider reports an insider tip that IAC may sell off or abandon their search technology and outsource it to Google.
Here is the tip:
There is indeed a big shakeup coming. A new Ask. Some think a reduction in workforce is likely. There are no sacred cows, Teoma may be sold or simply abandoned which is hundreds of engineers who work on the core search engine, in place of just using Google's search with our special brand of user interface.
I can honestly say, if true, it does not surprise me. Diller, IAC's CEO, is not happy with the return he has been seeing from Ask.com. Although he has said time and time again that he loves the technology, Diller is a numbers guy.
