Barry Diller Asked about selling search, says yes
Ask.com could be on the block, judging by the comments of the CEO of its parent company.
Reuters reported on IAC’s third-quarter earnings conference call Tuesday, where CEO Barry Diller all but opened the bidding for the struggling search engine. Despite a novel promotional deal with Nascar, Ask.com has failed to make much headway against the great powers of search in Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. “We’ve been asked a lot whether we’re open to consolidating transactions in the area of search. The answer is yes,” Diller was quoted by Reuters as saying. “And, it is unlikely that we would be the consolidator.”
