Google Shows Ask It Can Take A Joke

Less than a month ago, a Google pen ran out of ink while Scott Grieder, a Group Product Manager at Ask.com, was trying to take notes with it. Ask pointed this out in a witty (and somewhat disparaging) blog post, and now Google has sent its competitor at least one more pen, along with an amusing note of its own.

Google and Ask may be rivals, but it appears that neither company has lost its sense of humor. Ask’s sense of fair play is also intact: it gave the same amount of attention to Google’s response as it did to the initial “lapse in this fundamental Google product/service.”

As reported by the Ask.com Team, then, the speculates that Adam Lasnik (“Search Evangelist”) is the man behind the letter. This sort of lighthearted back-and-forth is decidedly better than a certain other here. Thanks to both companies for providing a bit of humor within the search engine world.
