Jeeves joins the race
p2pnet.net News:- Seek, and ye shall find.
These days, it’s a breeze to seek and companies such as Google and Yahoo now lead with AltaVista, HotBot, Webcrawler, et al, who used to reign supreme, eating their dust.
Amazon recently turned up the heat with its A9 search and now Jeeves, never a contender for a top spot, is also looking for a place in the sun. Today it launched MyJeeves to let users create their “own personal Web,” as Daniel Read, Jeeves’ vp of product management, is quoted as saying in an IDG News Service story.
Each search result will have a ’save’ button, “which, if clicked upon, takes the user to his MyJeeves interface, where results can be stored, categorized into folders, printed, annotated with the user’s comments and shared via e-mail,” says the story.
“In turn, users can search the content of their MyJeeves pages.”
The service is free but, “those who choose to register, providing a password and an e-mail address, get some added benefits, such as more storage for archived results and the ability to access their MyJeeves page from any computer with an Internet connection,” says the IDG report. “Those who don’t register can only access their MyJeeves page from one PC and can store fewer search results.
Does any of the above seem familiar?
