Jeeves Peeves
from the couldn't-have-said-it-better dept
Hilarious story about using Jeeves at Business Week today, but what pleases me more is the this mainstream pub puts its mainstream "value" to the test. Wonder what it would say if I asked "Why are you worth 1.4B?"
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

Now, however, Google has won me over. Very very very simple design (who knows if they'll keep it), but it seems to turn up much better results. But the big winner with Google is the caching. They cache everything, so that if you click on a link and it gives you a 404 you can just click on the "cached" version and see what you were missing. I find that I use that feature on probably 50% of the searches I do.
