It hasn’t been Ask Jeeves since about 2006. I remember when Jeeves “retired”



Also Ask Jeeves started in 1996, 30 years ago. Whoever runs that account is straight up retarded.

Oh no! What should I do?

I need a good search engine to replace Ask Jeeves. It needs to pair seamlessly with my ISP, Netscape


Check out my geocities website I made. It will have some good information about search engines and why you should use excite.com instead of yahoo.com for all your searching needs. Google won't last as long according to my boys I chat with on ICQ.

I used to be a big fan of Slacker Radio (competitor of Pandora). Then I got Spotify Premium and forgot about it.

Looked up Slacker today and saw it went away via a name change/merger several years ago.

So many different entertainment technologies have come and go over the last 30 years, and each one at the time has you thinking "how can it get better than this?"

AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, mIRC (and various other irc clients), Real Player, Shockwave, Flash, WinAmp. Those are all just off the top of my head.

MetaCrawler is what I used in the late 90s. It queried all of the search engines at the time like Yahoo and several others.
