imageTurns out Ask.com has the answers for Lexico Publishing, the owner of Dictionary.com which earlier agreed to be acquired by Answers.com (NSDQ: ANSW) in a doomed effort. The IAC (NSDQ: IACI) subsidiary isn’t disclosing the price of the all-cash transaction but, according to a source familiar with the situation, it’s in the same range as the $100 million that Answers.com was supposed to pay. Ask spokesman Nicholas Graham declined to confirm the amount or to comment on the price.

In December 2007, Microsoft acquired MultiMap, which offers features that are focused on the UK, and created quite quite a stir when it accidentally forced UK users to use it over Live Maps. In mid-April, Ask UK made a surprising move when it switched away from its mapping service and decided to start using Multimap. Ask UK decided that MultiMap was better than Live Maps and Ask Maps, so it rolled out the service on its website.

One facet of Best Buy for Business (Best Buy for Business builds data powerhouse, BtoB's Lead Generation Guide 2008, page 6 ) that was not brought up by Best Buy (not surprisingly, and I am sure Best Buy would like everyone to forget) was the Best Buy for Government initiative launched at about the same time. There was lots of noise in the government market when Best Buy for Government showed up at [the FOSE Exposition and Conference] in 2005 and 2006, but largely because of T-shirts and big bags, not product. There was no substance, little execution and no value proposition. And now Best Buy for Government is gonethree years and out. The BBG Web site, which was never more than a home page with a phone number, had the tag line The convenience of in-store pick up.

Previously, Best Buy teamed up with Carphone Warehouse to create Best Buy Mobile in the U.S. The concept will be added to all Best Buy stores this year. The two companies also have been collaborating to bring Geek Squad technical support to European markets. Best Buy said the consumer electronics category is the fastest-growing in European retail over the past five years and represents about a £89 billion ($175 billion) market.
