No more Butler at Askjeeves.com
Yes, no more Butler Guy that you used to see at Askjeeves.com. They even dropped "jeeves" from their site. Its now simply "Ask.com" with a new interface.
Askjeeve a search engine was launched in 1996 where you could ask a question as if you were asking a human. "Jeeve" acted as a human. Spokesperson for Ask.com said that "Consumers today don't need help searching any more, they just want to find things faster. Jeeves just doesn't represent the brand today."
Personally I never became a fan of Ask.com, however I use their Bloglines. I think they realize now that they need to compete heavily with Google.
Ask.com now has several search tools including advanced search, currency conversion, mobile content.
Ask.com is a unit of IAC/InterActiveCorp that also owns the following properties:
