"GoToWorld.com is extremely pleased to offer Ask Jeeves to our members," said Ian Simpson, CEO of LanguageForce, Inc., parent company of GoToWorld.com. "We selected Ask Jeeves because of its unique expertise in natural-language question answering services. As GoToWorld.com expands into major international markets within the next few months, a whole host of new users will be exposed to Ask Jeeves. It's a win-win situation for both companies," Simpson said.

"Our shared mission to make the Net an easier, more relevant experience for consumers makes our partnership with GoToWorld.com a natural one," said Ted Briscoe, senior vice president and general manager of Ask Jeeves' Consumer Question Answering Service. "We are excited to be able to work with GoToWorld.com to expose even more people to the benefits of our natural-language question answering services."

Ask Jeeves' proprietary technology allows users to pose questions in plain English such as "Why is the sky blue?" or "What is the weather in Paris?" or "Where can I bank online?" and be directed to a Web site that answers the question.

Ask Jeeves will provide its question-answering service at Ask.com to the general membership of GoToWorld.com, as well as to members in the Family and Kids areas of the portal who can use a specially designed service for children and parents, Ask Jeeves for Kids. The content on Ask Jeeves for Kids has been hand picked by editors, who include only child-appropriate sites on the site.
