In September 2001, he made the critical decision to acquire Teoma Technologies and integrate their unique approach to Web-wide search into Ask.com. He also oversaw Ask.com’s redesign, which improved ease-of-use and removed pop-ups and banner ads from the site in favor of a more contextually relevant search experience. As a result, user satisfaction has grown steadily since 2002, and the Company has more than tripled its revenue since Berkowitz came on board.

In other news, Sphere is a blog search engine that went live Tuesday. At first glance, Sphere looks interesting. We were limited in how much we could experiment with Sphere, developed by a San Francisco company led by Tony Conrad. However, there are two nice features worth highlighting. The first is the "chronology" feature. Tony showed us an example using "Mohammed Cartoons." Type that search term into the search bar, and you get 274 blog post results. Sphere then gives you a frequency graph of the blog posts over a certain timeline. The Mohammed cartoons spiked in February, corresponding to the outcry created when French newspapers republished cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed. Sphere defaults its frequency chart to 4 months, and underneath shows you its relevant results for that period. But you can choose to expand or decline the timeline to any dates you want, by dragging the bookends of the timeline.
