YouTube has drastically changed the way that the US Military has had to deal with public relations. Soldiers love to film combat and their activities - there is a saying in the military: “Joe always has a camera on him.” When inspecting a dead enemy soldier - or even a US soldier - you regularly find a camera, and its a piece of intelligence.

So what is Ask.com doing to possibly increase those numbers? Not a whole lot: they are firing 40 non-producing employees and “focusing on married women looking to manage their lives.” I could care less what Ask.com does to increase their traffic and revenue numbers - because I don’t ...
