Ask Jeeves UK (Screenshot) - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Competition Congratulations Screen

Oh-my, this weekend is turning out to be a 'general knowledge' frenzy as I've found myself taking part in quiz shows galore!

I've never had the desire to be on a quiz show, and I'm generally not excited by the thought of a pub quiz, but last night I rushed home from work to play 1 vs 100 Live on the Xbox 360 - and this morning I persisted through to completion the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire quiz on Ask Jeeves UK.

The question now is, will I make the Ask Jeeves Millionaire Quiz Leaderboard next Saturday?

I tried checking the Norwegian Ask page: http://no.ask.com

PHAIL.

Isn't the Norwegian version of every American web product utter rubbish though?

Amnith 11. July 2009, 12:03

Well, it depends. Large brands such as Google, MSN and now Bing are not more rubbish than their originally inherited pages, although I like to think of at least MSN as total rubbish nonetheless.

MSN is BIng

Should ask Jeeves be renamed Ask Coxy?

I think you are running Linux, and I see you are using the Opera 10 beta

MSN is the news portal, while Bing is the search engine. Quite a difference. :smile:

msn hotmail became live mail, not sure if they will change it to bing mail

I have been using Ask.com as my primary search engine for over 10 months. I never even knew they had a Norwegian version! That is regional marketing fail.

Is Jeeves just a ‘UK thing’ for Ask.com?

I think Jeeves is in the US also, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire quiz takes me to the UK version

danaleks As far as I'm aware (and the Internets suggests the same), Jeeves is only for UK punters - as will the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Quiz.

I don't have a problem with Ask's search service - in fact, I quite like it.
