Ask Jeeves to drop the butler
http:// ww. cnn. com/2005/TECH/internet/09/27/ask.jeeves.ap/

Jeeves, the slightly chubby and balding English butler, isn't the kind of image that e-commerce conglomerate InterActiveCorp wants representing the Ask Jeeves search engine, according to IAC Chairman Barry Diller. His New York-based company bought Ask Jeeves for $2.3 billion in July.


how sad. I happened to like the bulter mascot, I mean, it suited the name perfectly.

Long live the butler!

I think Ask Jeena would get a lot more visitors, but my favorite is Ascii!

Now that ASK is officialy part of IAC (Barry Diller) I hear that he thinks the butler is hindering this search engines growth. A branding thing it appears so don't be suprised by a whole new ask search engine on the horizon. Google has raised the bar recently and they need to catch up!
