I tried it out a long time ago, I didn't like it. Plus I hate the name.

[Inky]

yeah I've checked it out before. I didn't see any reason to switch from google though

[Agozer]

Ask Jeeves never found what I was really looking for.

 

Google all the way.

Ask jeeves is a load of c***!!! I only used it once and it still didnt help out.

[Dooz]

Ask Jeeves isn't worth $5, let alone $1.9 billion.

[OverlordMondo]

I agree with every statement made thus far.

[boxdnosepress]

Ill use it if google wont give what i need but when that happens i dont have much hope to find anything from elsewhere....so i stand with goodle all the way

[Weirdy]

I wonder if anyone has ever asked Jeeves for porn :rof:

[Z-Neo]

bleh, everyone else has pretty mucht eh same thought I do. Google is better in soooo many ways, imo. I don't see how spending $2 billion for it can be justified.
