    Lol - He's actually pretty good to us in Ireland/UK

    Not sure why but he beats out MSN where we are ranked in the same spot. I saw an article somewhere on the popularity of Ask in the UK that backed that up.

    Its probably a class thing here in the UK - people actually believe that Jeeves is a real Butler... ;)

    I remember there was a time if I type the actual question, such as "Why does he suck?" It will actually try to answer my question with a very human manner, such as "I'm not sure what you mean by "why do you suck." Perhaps you mean..." And a style similar to that. Now it is just a like a normal search engine...? :confused: :confused: It doesn't do the human style anymore?

    Ask does well for us. But people take it a bit too literally IMO so I see the longest of questions show up in my referals that oftentimes crack me up.

    Hey - you stole that from the Simpsons where Bart and Millhouse are playing on the computer and Bart says:

    "Ok, What should we ask Jeeves... Hey, how about, why does he suck?"

    Credit where credit is due.

    :D I never saw that episode...

    The Simpsons is probably the most educational show ever broadcast on TV :D

    I also notice a link on the askjeeves site to P.G. Wodehouse, the author who created the character Jeeves in his novels about Bertie Wooster...
