Ask.com has announced that, after Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are already supporting the Sitemaps.org-standard, they will start handling this standard, too.
Another newsworthy change is the fact that, now, there is the possibility to show the searchengines the path to the Sitemaps-file without the need to have a Webmaster-account for each one of them.
By adding the following line of code
Sitemap: http://www.kompletter.example/pfad/zur/sitemaps.xml
to the robots.txt, the searchengines will now detect the file by themselves.
