Yahoo, Google and Ask Jeeves all are sporting customized logos for the holiday season. When you go to Yahoo.com and click on the top center logo it takes you to http://events.yahoo.com/holiday05/. When you go to Google.com and click on the middle center logo it takes you to Google's first of many holiday season doodles at http://www.google.com/doodle10.html (more to come). And if you go to Ask.com and click on the Jeeves logo, it takes you to a search results page (as a search engine should, imo) for http://www.ask.com/web?q=Happy+Holidays. Now Ask was sporting a snowman logo yesterday, so they are changing things up, possibly daily for the holiday season, keep and eye on them and Google for logo changes.

To assure users that they'll get the best answers to their questions, Ask Jeeves ... has partners who provide answers, to supplement those answers Jeeves has found.

The original idea behind Ask Jeeves was to allow users to get answers to questions created in everyday, natural language. Ask.com was the first commercial question-answering search engine for the World Wide Web (WWW). It supports a variety of user queries in plain English (natural language), as well as traditional keyword searching and strives to be more instinctive and user-friendly than other search engines. In other words, when you request a question, it searches for the answer. Ask Jeeves sold the similar technology used on the ask.com site to corporations comprising Dell, Toshiba and E*Trade. That part of the business was sold in 2002 to Kanisa.

TrustWatch Search uses Ask Jeeves search technology to provide search results. Based on social networking theory, the algorithmic search technology takes a unique approach to relevancy ranking. Like other search engines, Ask Jeeves search technology uses a form of link popularity to assist in page ranking. It then goes a step further to analyze each page's reputation among experts on a given topic to determine relevancy. With this proprietary Subject-Specific Popularity(TM) technology, the Ask Jeeves search technology is the first search engine to break the web down into topic-based "communities" of sites, and to give added credibility to those sites respected as authorities on a particular subject.
