e-commerce 
Ad’s where they can buy online music from Apple iTunes and Amazon.com.
Now while watching a Video if you like the soundtrack of the video, you get an icon next to video. The icon enables you to download the music from any of the online stores.
Bakari Brock, business affairs counsel at YouTube said “If you like the song, you don’t need to leave Google or leave the site to buy it.”
Two years ago Google paid $1.65 Billion for YouTube and would like to convert the site’s traffic into substantial revenue. Google revenue from its core ad business has decreased in the last couple of years.
YouTube will look forward to provide more options for its users to increase the e-commerce platform. Right now the options are limited to music download from EMI or the Universal Music Group on iTunes and Amazon. Also the latest game Spore is also available. In the future users will also be able to buy other merchandise and tickets to concerts from YouTube.

Search engine Ask is making a desperate move to get back into the Major league of Search Engines.
Ask recently dropped its iconic butler and came up with a bunch of applications this year and now with this latest Facelift its trying to get back some of the traffic from Google.
The new and improved Ask will concentrate on its ability as search engine of choice for those asking questions.
The trend which is followed by most of the Google competitors are following is to be as different as possible from Google.
Ask would be using its own Technologies such as DADS, DAFS and AnswerFarm to reach new pinnacles in semantic search, Web extraction, and ranking. The site’s download speed also have increased by 30%. The user interface is also very simple and the search results are properly divided in content types like: breaking news, blogs, images, videos and music.
Ask gets its major traffic from people searching for specific answers to questions. It accounts up to 15% of its traffic, which in case of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Live Search accounts to only 5% of traffic.
However Ask is trying to be as different as possible from Google but the new look seems to look like a clone of Google.
The interesting reply to this from Cesar Mascaraque, European managing director of Ask is “All cars have four wheels. No-one wants a car with one wheel”
But no matter how hard all the search engines try it really hard to cut into Google’s market share.
Google seems like the everyday need for anyone who has started to use the net in the past few years.
In UK though Ask has a healthy traffic which amounts up to one in five of all people using a search engine.
