  Well no......it would have been "Just Ask Jeeves".
Indubitably!
The first company to sell their soul to mammon was going to win the search engine wars.

If it hadn't been googie it would have been whoever inked the first contract.
My heart will always host Altavista but... we'd have JVS.IT url shortner for sure
"I prefer jovial" would've become the goto rainbow capitalist phrase
