Cinco do Mayo? Ask.com Misspells.

| Posted in: Industry News

While the rest of the world celebrated "Cinco de Mayo" yesterday, Ask.com’s homepage flaunted a "Cinco do Mayo" as seen below.

Ask's Cinco Do Mayo

It was probably just a hasty typo and I don’t think anyone will (or should) be fired over this, but let’s poke some fun at Ask for the oversight anyway. :P

Random thoughts that come to mind:

  • With such a small percentage of the search market, who really cares whether Ask can spell or not?
  • Now might be a good time to boost Ask.com’s staff from 460 to 461 people.
  • Ask.com’s new focus of catering their search engine to women has taken priority over proofreading.

Today, Ask’s homepage has a link to a news story about Cyclone Nargis’ impact on Myanmar (Burma), and a link to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.
