GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.Bring a little early-web atmosphere to your desk, shelf, or reading corner with an Ask Jeeves tin candle. It honors the Berkeley search pioneer launched in 1997, when visitors could ask questions in everyday language and look to the unmistakable Jeeves valet for help finding the web. A fitting keepsake for dot-com historians, search-engine nostalgists, and collectors of memorable internet brands, it marks Ask Jeeves' journey from its NASDAQ era to Ask.com and its 2026 closure.Ask Jeeves was founded in 1996 in Berkeley, California, by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen. Built around asking questions in everyday language as well as keyword searching, its original software was designed and implemented by Gary Chevsky; Warthen, Chevsky, and Justin Grant led the graphical interface and initial AskJeeves.com launch. The beta arrived in mid-April 1997, followed by a full launch on June 1, 1997. Its valet mascot, Jeeves, drew on P. G. Wodehouse's fictional character. Ask Jeeves became publicly traded during the dot-com era, with ASKJ on NASDAQ from July 1999 until July 2005. It acquired Teoma on September 18, 2001, and IAC acquired Ask Jeeves in July 2005 for $1.85 billion. In February 2006, the company dropped the Jeeves name and became Ask. After ending in-house crawler development in 2010, the service shifted toward question-and-answer content and outsourced search functions. Ask.com later emphasized articles, trending topics, entertainment, and automated news.
