Ask Jeeves Returns
Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 2:35 am
Search Engine Ask.com was originally known as Ask Jeeves, where “Jeeves” is the name of the “gentleman’s personal gentleman” (illustrated by Marcos Sorensen), fetching answers to any question asked. The character was based on Jeeves, Bertie Wooster’s fictional valet from the works of P. G. Wodehouse.
Three years ago, Ask, one of the leading search engines, retired Jeeves. Now Jeeves is back.
Jeeves has been travelling the world for the past three years on a quest for the knowledge to answer all your questions. Ask Jeeves changed to Ask back in 2006, but the faithful servant is back to answer your questions. He’s even on Twitter and Facebook .
This returns is only in the UK version of the search engine.
According to Ask’s European MD Cesar Mascaraque “The same desire was not found in the US, although Ask admitted they did not run similar polls in the US… Jeeves is more of a British character than a US character.”
