Ask Goes Mobile

Ask.com, the little search engine that keeps chugging along has gone mobile. Ask Mobile uses Skweezer technology to “skweeze” Web pages and present them in a mobile friendly way without taking the memory footprint too much. I tried it on my Nokia E61 and it was pretty brisk, and it has been added to my bookmarks, for future (and often use.)

They’re also using Skweezer on Bloglines which has made blog reading one of my favorite mobile phone activities - at least on the Treo 700p.
