Our Values
The digital landscape is always evolving – so are we.
Ask Applications® originates in Irvington, New York as iWon.com, a sweepstakes site and web portal that offers visitors the chance to win money for themselves or for charities.
After purchasing Excite.com’s assets, we launch an additional online portal called MyWay.com and several popular entertainment products including SmileyCentral and PopularScreensavers.
Our new parent company Ask Jeeves is acquired by IAC/InterActiveCorp. We’re now a proud member of IAC’s family of leading digital brands!
We launch Zwinky, our popular social networking community, which ultimately reaches more than 16 million registered fans worldwide.
We launched Webfetti, enabling users to easily customize their social networking profile pages and blogs.
Now operating as Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., we continue our growth trajectory by acquiring SlimWare® Utilities, a software product suite of PC optimization services.
SlimWare® is named PC Magazine’s Editors’ Choice for best free tune-up software and launches Premium Support, offering affordable 24/7 online tech software support to more than 20,000 subscribers.
Now, as Ask Applications®, we are the leading distributor of desktop applications, browser extensions, and PC optimization software.
