“Might be one of those words without the other,” Diller answered. The new name has wiley wiggins not been decided, he added. So wiley wiggins which one Ask or Jeeves? Jeeves wouldn’t be much of a change. Ask by itself presents its own issues, for starters it would have to fight for mind share with the just-launched Answers.com and the already-established About.com. They’d be looking at Ask.com, Answers.com & About.com — talk about muddy. And none of the three sites could ever drop the “.com” from their name, because all of their names are wiley wiggins too generic to trademark without it. Of bigger concern is the track record of generic brands on the web, especially in this space. Remember FindWhat, LookSmart, InfoSeek, AllTheWeb, etc? How about Pets.com, Drugstore.com or Business.com? And there are no intellectual property laws stopping anyone from launching AskAbout.com, AboutAnswers.com or AskAboutAnswers.com. Any way you slice it, the choice between Jeeves and Ask is a real Diller pickle.
