Some More Ask Smart Answers

Got word of some cool smart answers Ask.com is running.
The first is all about events. Presumably leveraging the fact that Ask and Ticketmaster are under the same roof, if you enter a type of event, like “hockey”, or a concert, and a location, you’ll get a smart answer with some upcoming matching events. Click to see more and you’ll get forwarded to Ask City local search, and see on a map all the events in your area, with options to buy tickets through Ticketmaster, of course.
Try it out:
“hockey new york city” (notice how you can norrow it by borough)
“concert los angeles” (note the suggestions of Los Angeles other than California, as well as the categories of music)
“comedy boston”
This is an excellent case of the sum of all the parts making for something great. Ask has been building something special with their smart answers, making for a search […]
