Sometimes it pays to Ask

Google is not the be all and end all of search. After a frustrating look through the NCAA site and Nytimes.com, I asked Google and Ask, "When is the Final Four?"

Google gave me garbage. Ask gave me the answer.

April 4 Update: OK, so maybe "garbage" is too strong a word for Google's results. Top result was the official NCAA site. Amazingly, that site didn't display the schedule information on its home page and, at least when I checked last week, there was no obvious link to the schedule information for the men's Final Four. But of course, that's the NCAA's bad, not Google's. Still, you can't argue with the fact that Ask beat Google on this one worse than Florida whopped UCLA last night.
