CenturyTel has partnered with Ask.com to launch a redesigned, innovative and feature-rich customer portal as a key step in expanding its content offerings.

CenturyTel.net provides CenturyTel customers with:

• search engine choices - Ask.com, Google, Yahoo and Looksmart — with the click of a button.

• easy access to CenturyTel content services.


• a focus on local content (just enter your zip code to get all sorts of local information) and

• integration with CenturyTel's customer account management.

"It's easy to personalize the www.centurytel.net portal to individual tastes," said Wally Purdun, area operations manager. "I encourage everyone to try it out. CenturyTel is continually developing services and plans to meet our customers' lifestyles. I know they'll want to make www.centurytel.net their homepage."

"With the new site, Ask.com has continued our singular focus of innovating at the core of search — where it matters most to people," said Jim Lanzone, general manager of Ask.com U.S. "We've put unique search tools in the right place, at the right time, freeing people from wading through endless links so they can get to the good stuff faster."

Nice direct exposure for Looksmart's (Wisenut) search results and with an existing "cosy" relationship with ask.com (AdCenter, etc, etc) LOOK's revenues (coming from ask.com) grow as any increase of users go to ask.com

myway.com ......."bothways.com", for LOOK!!


Yes ....... It's all happening.
