Well, not entirely. IAC has announced that Ask is going to move in a different, but familiar direction.
Step 1:
Lay off 40 employees (8%) of Ask staff
Step 2:
Gear your engine to marred women above 30 living in the Midwestern and
Step 3:
Bring back the question format – but have it only answer questions about recipes, hobbies, crafting and your kids
Step 4:
Remove Jeeves from carbonite
Step 5:
PROFIT!!!!! . . . . or cease to exist
Maybe they’ll have Jeeves wear a sock puppet next

lmao…I was there when they put Jeeves in the carbonite. Hopefully they’ll throw an escape party
Is this supposed to be a bad idea? I know that I never get tired of searching for recipes and crafts.
Ok just joking…
Hmmm Jeeves… in a bunny suite….
Well, with my marketing hat on - methinks this is a good idea because it niches them a lot better than a general Q & A topic… we should watch that space?
That would be fantastic if they had an unfreezing party
Niches are good, but it seems rash to cut and already staffed company by 8% then go back on all the marketing and advertising for your product and say, no,no, we aren’t trying to be cutting edge anymore. You can use us to find homework help for the kids, which is needed, but its quite the 180
