Ask Jeeves has expanded its Web search services and given its hallmark butler a younger look.
The Emeryville, Calif.-based company said Tuesday it has developed My Jeeves, a personalized storage locker for Web surfers’ search results. It’s also built a site devoted to helping people find local businesses; improved its general Web search technology Teoma; and set the debut of its branded desktop-search application for late 2004. Finally, Ask Jeeves has taken 20 or so years off the life of its Jeeves’ butler–the P.G. Wodehouse character that’s been the cornerstone of Ask Jeeves’ brand for eight years, but has been absent from the site since last week.
