1-Ask.com and 1-Pizza.com are Clever Shortcuts

Ask is a natural 'keyword' for a search website, it's generic and the word 'ask' can't be trademarked.

• What can be done?
  • Someone else owns the best domain: ask.com
    • We can't buy ask.com
    • ...but we want the #2 spot in search engines

Use 1-Ask.com as a Shortcut

• 1-ask.com points to the Tiny but Mighty Search Prototype Website
  • (that's tech talk for a shortcut)
• Used this way, 1-Ask is easier to type than: www.numbersthatwork.com/search/
  • and easier to remember

1-Ask.com looks like a phone number, makes sense to humans and a viable marketing solution for a   mobile internet search website. 1-Ask.com is the only domain with the potential to firmly establish itself in the #2 spot to ask.com like Avis did to Hertz in the rental car business and has big upside potential with mobile surfers, teens and texters as surfers transition to mobile devices.
