Ask Jeeves to be Renamed to Ask.com

Back in May 2005 we heard the rumors about Ask being renamed but today word comes from TheStreet.com article named Diller Sacks the Butler.

Jeeves is out of a job.

IAC/InterActiveCorp. is dropping the butler who doubles as the mascot of its recently acquired Ask Jeeves online search business.

I guess we no longer need to play the name guessing game and just try to play the 'when will it happen" game.
