What ever happened to Ask Jeeves??? Was those questions answered by real people also?

  • Answer:

    Ask Jeeves is still around. They recently renamed it as ask.com. It has been recently bought by InterActiveCorp which also owns match.com. AFAIK Ask Jeeves questions are not answered by real people. There are sure some editotial stuff on its database.

Initially, they had a stored database of questions answered by real people, and when you searched, they would match your query against the database. (In fact, there was an intermediate result step where they'd ask whether a given question was the one you wanted answered.) In 2001, they bought a search engine company called Teoma, and since then have focused on "regular" searches rather than question answering. As noted in another answer, they were recently acquired by IAC/InterActive, the same company that owns Match.com, Citysearch, Evite, and Ticketmaster.

Its just a regualr search engine like Yahoo search or google. I guess initially they were targetting to search based on natural lang questions rather than keywords like today.
