IAC Company Description
IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) satisfies inquisitive minds who want to explore local hot spots, meet the right partner, find a contractor, and maybe even host a party or two. The Internet conglomerate owns more than 35 Web companies, including search engine Ask.com, local guide Citysearch, dating site Match.com, home service provider network ServiceMagic, and online-invitation firm Evite. Formerly a jumble of disparate assets that included cable-TV networks, travel services, and mortgage lending, the company has slimmed down to focus on the online search and content market. To achieve this goal, it split into five public companies in 2008, with IAC retaining the Web properties. IAC is controlled by CEO Barry Diller.
