Ask Jeeves Has Sacked the Butler

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed my children will be when they find out that Ask Jeeves is gone. They had a lot of fun reading the website and asking questions.

I believe the new owner will be disappointing many kids who looked forward to seeing thier questions answered.

Wow,
I've always gone to Ask Jeeve's whenever I've needed help to find information. At the same time my friends often come to me for the same thing; If I couldn't find it then it simply didn't exist:)
Maybe you could change it to
"Ask-Kat":) Sound's good to me and I'd never forget the site name.
Cheer's

"Ask Jeeves" - it's a bit like "Home James" - and the new owners decided to throw it out. Good luck making your new version work for you. You had a concept that many people connected to at a deep level - I don't see how you'll recreate that.

WOW THAT IS SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!

how coulday1 take ova?
ask jeeves was da best if i eva needed help wit a question n skwol i always got it
but now dat he is gone well i am not goin to use it anymore
good luck wit tryin to make ur own new version if it

Once again....big business idiots with now idea what we REAL WORLD people need and use...Jeeves was a great concept and an even better help !! Making him shed pounds to vamp his image just shows what a bunch of morons you are to think that the actual picture of Jeeves was something that ppl went to the site for...Just in case you dont know you corporate minded fools, we went there for information.....Next time think b4 you take off something that is helping ppl just so you can profit off something else which im sure will be as useless as you are !!!

I agree. What they called "misguided branding" was a brilliant concept that would have kept people coming back and using their search engine reguardless of what other changes they made. Now it is just another search enging without any appeal. Now I use google.

I'm so disapointed in the corparate small mindedness. What a waste of time and resources. To think that a rather special brand can be dropped like a leppers ear.
Shame on you all, you're just going to blend in with all the rest.

My daughter is sitting behind me doing an assignment on South Korea. She was struggling to find the information in a manner that she could understand. Naturally, I told her to "Ask Jeeves". After her many attempts she said "I can't find it Dad, I just keep getting Ask.com". I stopped what I was doing and tried to find it. OOOOOh Nooooooo! It has been "SOLD OUT". How stupid are you people. "Things go better with Coke", "The Golden Arches", "Just Do It" ..... are you getting the idea? If it's not broke ... don't fix it!!! ... Jeeves was a brilliant peice of marketing. It was an icon that could be associated with, and not just from my era, "The Nanny" has an all wise and cleaver Butler. Jeeves personalised the site, allowed people to identify with something. Now it is clinical, uninviting and more complicted to use.

Well done guys ... who justified their job with that Moronic Idea.

Well sometimes people amke huge mistakes and pay the price. I feel you have made a very unwise marketing choice as many many adults and children used jevves for school research. I hope you are sucessful but you have lost our family.
