Jeeves Back at Ask!
I’ve stumbled across exclusive pictures of Jeeves the butler back at Ask! Is his retirement over?
I guess the man has been interviewing around as I also spotted him at Yahoo!
Checking out Google, I found that they interviewed Jeeves but have gone with Mr. T. That’s right, only the best results fool!
By now, you may feel my exclusive pictures are, um, fake. Well, not everyone is happy to see Jeeves go. So, with a little bit of code, you can add Jeeves back into Ask.com. Or add Jeeves to Yahoo, Mr. T to MSN, Sponge Bob to Google or a banana to Ask. Whatever you’d like.
Lycos Mail Mini-Review
Hosted on ZooomrWell Lycos is the newest contender in the competition to win over your email business. So, jumping on the bandwagon, I gave Lycos Mail ago. Overall, it’s nice, but lacking.
The interface looks really nice. It has a good color scheme and an up-to-date graphics. However, the graphical ads kill it. It tarnishes the nice look and feel horribly. However, if you block ads, I guess you could get past that. You could also pay for email and then the ads would be removed too.
PubCon Day Two – Blogs, Links, MSN Driving
Yes this post is a little late, get over it.
The second day of PubCon went very well. It started off with Matt Cutts (Google), Robert Scoble (MSN) and Jeremy Zawodny (Yahoo) talking about their blogs. How they love the feedback and the human effect it adds to their companies. They even talked about the ‘rules’ of blogging for thier company. Basically, don’t be stupid. Post only what they fell isn’t a ‘company secret’ yet be helpful and interesting. All three love blogging and are very excited to be able to do it. One of the best parts is that you get to meet people and learn about them without every meeting them. Granted, they’d all love to meet everyone, it’s just not that easy when you work for a global company.
SES 2005 – Review & Photos
Just a week ago I was off to my first Search Engine Strategies Conference and as I look back, it was a great time.
There was so much information floating around that it was hard not to miss some pieces here and there. From the new definition of RSS – Really Simple Stealing – go the explanation of some of Google’s patents, there was a little something for everyone.
Some of my favorite sessions were on blogs, RSS and website usability. I got to hear from people at Ask, MSN, Yahoo, Google, Technorati and many other major search engines. I even talked to people from MSN, Yahoo and Google during lunch or after sessions. It was a great opportunity to get to know a few folks.
