If you read the post I wrote last week about Ask.com, you might already have started putting it to use to find stuff online.  A lot of the features highlighted last week are well worth giving Ask.com a run.  But just in case you needed more of an incentive to try it, Ask.com is currently running a contest that includes prizes being awarded every hour.

And all you have to do to play is search.

Yes, you heard me.  Ask.com just wants you to give it a try.  So much, in fact, that they're offering prizes at random to people who use the service.  Every time you use Ask.com to do a search, you have the chance to win.  And it's not one of those contests that makes you wait until some specified date to find out if you've won.  No… you'll know right away because, if you win something, your search results page will look like this.

So give Ask.com a shot.  A prize every hour is nice.  Who knows… you may actually decide to stick with Ask after the promotion ends.  Now that couldn't be what they're counting on… could it?
