I assumed it was dead for years
Not beloved enough apparently
I had no clue this was still a thing
Beloved?
I thought this thing died years ago
RIP. Like most people I had no idea it was still around but it makes me think of this.

Jeeves was terrible. No idea how it was successful even before google
I thought we already had the funeral
I was just gonna Ask Jeeves about Spirit Airlines so this has been a tough day.
“Beloved” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title
I worked there for 3 months in 2001. We had an empty fish tank with a Post-It that said “We’ll be back when we turn profitable!”
It was very sad.
I loved Ask Jeeves back in the day. Felt so classy to use it, but this was before google became a thing.
It didn’t die in like, 2010?
