Ask Jeeves to serve blogs?

According to several reports circulating the blogosphere, Ask Jeeves is about to announce its acquisition of Bloglines, the blog feed search and aggregation service.

The rumor started with the Napsterization blog and has been widely reported, although neither Ask Jeeves nor Bloglines have officially confirmed.

Blogs have caught the fancy of the major Web search engines. In February of 2003 Google bought Pyra Labs, the company behind Blogger software, and AOL launched its Journals blog offering in September of the same year. Late last year Microsoft rolled out a beta blogging tool called MSN Spaces. Microsoft has also promised that a feed aggregator service in the works. Yahoo in September introduced an RSS feed aggregator to its My Yahoo site.

Fueling the fire, just last week Ask Jeeves launched a blog, and several links included point to the Bloglines site.
