Jim Lanzone, CEO of Ask.com, has confirmed with me that Ask.com is working on Edison. Edison is the code name behind merging of Ask.com’s two different search technologies they own, Teoma and Direct Hit.

Apostolos Gerasoulis is very excited about this new algorithm and he told me he feels this will be the most powerful algorithm in search.

It’s not officially confirmed yet, but seems that Ask.com updated their search index.

Anyone noticed more traffic coming from Ask.com? I haven’t reall noticed that myself.
