Financial terms of the buy were not disclosed. According to Ask, the buy will provide it with "millions" of unique users who use Sendori's web sites. Sendori will become a wholly ownes subsidiary of IAC, which is the parent firm of Ask Sponsored Listings. Sendori's services were sold to web sites, who purchased the use of generic domain names to redirect users to their own sites.
