ASK Jeeves goes Bananas!

from the from-aisle-number-5,-fruit dept

Ask Jeeves is going bananas. Search engine Ask Jeeves on Thursday struck a deal with DOLE Fresh Fruit Co. (DOL) to stick its logo and questions on 100 million bananas.

While an interesting marketing ploy, I think they should have gone with their name/url/logo on egg shells. I never look at banana labels but people always inspect eggs before purchase and after purchase.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Eggs?

    I *never* look at eggs......but that just me. I use the sticker off of bananaannaas and put them on my forhead. Looks kinda cool, then I do a dance singing "La cookaracha...." and swinging my hips. Mr.White
