Meet the New Ask.com (Again)
After a year of slow but steady growth, Ask.com has redesigned, incorporating Google, Yahoo and Microsoft design elements along with it. Changing things up has helped Ask in the past, so we'll have to keep an eye on whether this gives Ask.com a nice little boost.
The first noticeable change is the front page. It's minimalist in nature, but you can change the skin to create a different background.
In the results, the dualing sidebars are gone, and only one on the right remains. The organic results are flush with the left, similar to Google and Yahoo. And there are related searches similar to what you'll find on Microsoft.
An interesting feature is the AskEraser. It addresses privacy concerns that people have about search.
What do you think of the changes? Give us your first impressions in the comments.

I like the redesign, it's nice and simple. I really liked the one they had a few months back with the different columns though too, I thought that was useful and something the others didn't provide. Ask has always been a pretty decent search engine but has not been able to gain too much traction. I don't know if this is what's going to do it though. I'm still rooting for them anyway.
