Bye, Jeeves

February 10, 2006

It seems that 10 years after he began "serving" the online community, Ask Jeeves' iconic butler (that would be Jeeves) is being retired from the Ask.com Web site.

It seems he annoys IAC/InterActive (Ask's parent company) CEO Barry Diller.

Having once worked as an editor for a Simon & Schuster company sacrified on the block by Barry Diller, I can, without ambiguity, state that Barry Diller, in fact, annoys me.

Bye, Jeeves.
