The Co has many strong AdCenter partnerships including some huge Global Ads and Media Co’s such as Ask.com, REED Publishing and The NY Times. The Co also has an AdCenter licenced to Facebook THE ‘hottest’ property on the Net these days, and one that is said to release it’s own “SocialAds” Platform on 6th, of November.

Wisenut appears to be being used in some “white labeled” situations including the (1800) Vertical Search Site not yet released, (as linked below) in a partnership between Looksmart and Mainstream Advertising.

Mainstream Advertising is owned by Network Solutions (a General Atlantic Co) that I have a strong feeling, will be a “back door” Listing announcement on the Nasdaq (through Looksmart), as early as next week.

But just an opinion, of course!

Cheers!

To be honest I'm not sure I could lay a finger on exactly what it is about WiseNut that I have always liked. To be honest it was one of those engines that I always liked but rarely used - Maybe I'm just a sucker for a monocle and a smile. Seriously though, it's just a recent example of a search engines that has falling into history without much notice.</p> Emil, I agree, WiseNut wasn’t always the most relevant search engine out there.
