Ask.com

While there are elements of Ask.com's new design that I'm not dancing over, I have to give them a huge amount of credit for embracing the whitespace. Ask has a really impressive set of features, and a lot of solid web design to back it all up (you can actually place your own image as the background of the main page...a potential disaster, but since no one else can see your crappy choices [unlike like myspace], I suppose it's OK). They almost out-do google in terms of "HI, WE'RE SIMPLE" design.

But let's face it- Google is just too automatic, and too tied into everything we do to be replace (If you were wondering...google owns/runs: Blogger, YouTube, and the internet).
