Does Anyone Have Experience Using AskEd ?

10/05/2009 4:54 AM

AskEd is a question answering free service that throws up what it thinks are relevant answers to the question you pose it without giving x million documents to look at. Do you find it useful in you particular field?

I am not familiar with AskEd, but I gave it a try with a couple of questions, and it looks like it might be valuable- although I could not determine the "technical" depth with the quick test I did. What I liked was the brief results, a list not cluttered by an infinite number of "shopping" results when I am looking for technical data...

Do you have a link? If I google AskEd I get Ask.com or Jeeves, if I look at AskEd.com the domain is for sale.

Sorry about that. I had forgotten that it was a link through www.inferret.co.uk website, or their Japanese equivalent.

Hello Nigh. I have checked on google.com where Asked is currently around 4th in the list.

It takes you to Inferret in Japan and gives an Inferret answer but is the same engine.

In Google.co uk it takes you to the 3rd and 4th page before you see it, so click on google.com at half bottom right.

Otherwise try http://asked.jp/edw/pc/

OK, I've got there from your Inferret link, looks like it could be quite useful.

If you can't get an answer on CR4 you have either not phrased your question correctly or you can't handle the humorous over tones of some answers. I'll stay right here or ask me missus for advice. She is right most times and it only takes a look to convince me to shut up and not go any further, Ky.

Interesting,....I wonder if that is anything like AskSAM. This software I believe they used this as a database in the Iran/Contra hearings in the Reagan years to be able to find and retrieve data.
