As I posted at the SEW blog yesterday, Ask Jeeves is going to be dropping the Jeeves butler by the end of this month, according to BBC News UK.
We saw early signs of this coming with Ask France & Japan dropping (or not including) the butler earlier. It is sad that attempts to save the butler seemed to have failed. We covered the rumors of Barry Diller wanting to Rename to Ask Jeeves to Ask a while back, lots of memories will be remembered, including;
- Jeeves9000 - Robo Jeeves
- Aks Jeeves - Jeeves Long Lost Brother
- Jeeves's Make Over
- Jeeves Hide and Go Seek
