Ask.com Brings Back Jeeves

Speaking of characters, in a bizarre, extremely quick move, Ask.com has decided to un-retire their spokes-drawing Jeeves, as well as their original name, AskJeeves.com, just two years after they made the departure. Which made us ask, “He was gone?” but we clearly must not have fit in the target demographic, as the company has said that the decision to bring back the spokescharacter was due in part to two years of constant requests from users who missed him (we should also note that two years in internet time is twenty years in human time, so while it doesn’t seem very long, think about what you were doing on the internet two years ago).
