So, Ask have finally confirmed that they WILL be retiring their iconic Jeeves mascot by the end of the month. Apparently this is part of a major rebranding of the search engine, and its parent company, IAC/InterActive, have come to the decision that Jeeves is not well known enough, and even detracting users from the site.

 

No.

 

People don't use the site because it is pure shit. Its search capabilities are poor at best, and it returns results reminiscent of those search engines you get on pages where someone has registered a domain (usually similar to a popular company's address) in order to catch people.

In short, Jeeves is the best thing about their whole product.
