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.
