Tasty Cheats

1:13 pm - October 18, 2005 in Ask Jeeves Blog

Ask Jeeves continues to go beyond the typical ho-hum search-results page. We have once again expanded coverage within popular content areas on Ask.com.

Video Games

Smart search for Halo 2 cheats

From broad overview information searches like Grand Theft Auto to the more specific like MTV Music Generator 2.0 reviews or Final Fantasy PS2 cheats, we try to get you the information faster.

Explore FAQ's, Trailers, walkthroughs and more of the latest videogames content as seen on Gamepro.com, Games.net, Gamerhelp.com, and Gametrailers.net right from our search box.

Recipes

Smart search for Halloween recipes

Whether you're looking to make some homemade Halloween treats, trying to figure out what to do with that chicken you defrosted last night or are just trying to cook something quick and easy - we have the feature for you. We've partnered with AllRecipes.com in order to provide a powerful Smart Search experience that serves up some of their most popular & highest rated recipes and delivers them right to your fingertips. In fact, I already started doing dry runs of a holiday meal in order to get over my fear of entertaining dinner guests:

* Pumpkin Pie recipes
* Thanksgiving recipes
* Turkey recipes

Come and get it.

no more stealing your focus!

12:22 am - October 17, 2005 in Start.com News
Hi folks, we just propped a simple change we think you might like.  A lot of you have been sending us feedback about how the search box steals your cursor away when the page loads.  We hear you, and we hate this too!  We've updated the code so that we no longer steal your focus.  If you want to type a search query, you can just start typing anywhere on the page and we'll automatically put the focus in the search box - no need to click in the search box (thanks to our friends on the msn.com team for this one).
 
Hope you like it!

Bloglines “Key” New Features

1:48 pm - October 13, 2005 in Ask Jeeves Blog

Today we rolled out some new features to help you keep up with all the information that is important to you.

Hotkeys
If you prefer using your keyboard to mousing around, you'll be happy to know we've added these shortcut keys. You will find this legend at the bottom of each feed display page:

On a personal note, I must say these hotkeys rock! If you are like me and seem to get a gazillion articles in your Bloglines every day, these hotkeys are for you. I used to go through a finger stretching, huff & puff ritual before I reached for my mouse and dove in to Bloglines. No more, thanks to Bloglines' hotkeys. My absolute favorite is 'j' which allows me to jump from article to article instead of scrolling. I can now read my Bloglines in half the time, no joke!

But wait! There's more...

Unread vs. Keep As New
There's a difference between "Unread" articles and those marked "Keep as New" (subtle, but distinct), so you will now see two numbers next to your subscribed feeds in parentheses. The number to the left of the colon represents the articles you have not read/seen before, and the number on the right represents the articles you have manually kept new.

Mobile
For those who enjoy using Bloglines on the run, we've added a couple of features from Bloglines to our Mobile edition.

* First, you can now access enclosure links in blog articles, allowing you to view images or listen to your favorite podcasts from your mobile device.

* Second, you can now use the "Keep as New" option for articles you have previously read, allowing you to scroll through as many articles as you want and come back to them later.

And finally, the ginsu knives of Bloglines...

Universal Inbox
Continuing the rollout of "unique-to-me" features like weather and package tracking, we've partnered with Astrology.com to deliver daily, weekly and monthly horoscopes, and Lottery.com to bring you lottery winning numbers and jackpot values for any state in the USA.

Please let us know what you think about our new features. No need to send email, just post to your blog and our Bloglines saved searches will pick up your feedback.
