Ask.com are now relaunching with a brand new search interface that is in 3D. As far as I'm aware this is the first time it has been done and it is going to be a bold move. With Google changing to a CSS site i think this was inevitable, but i must say i do love the new 3D interface.
I have said this many times in the past that i think Ask.com is highly under rated as a search engine, but i do hope they will become a force in the market share department because they truly deserve it.
I really like the feature that Ask.com have where you can target exactly what your looking for. This is a great way for SEO and SEM's alike to get other ideas for keywords. 
Will Ask.com be able to compete with Google? well as far as search results go there is not much between them in quality so perhaps in a few years time they will be able to compete with Google but i do think Ask's new interface will help win visitors.
