seobrien.com— Which algorithm? Who's Jeeves? An Ask.com campaign leaves folks scratching their heads and these new messages are even more confusing than the original

At first I thought it was a google advertisement. I mean, it is true...the google algorithm did kill Jeeves as well as Yahoo. So if this is an ask campaign, then they're incredibly stupid. They're doing a similar campaign in the UK at the moment. All these stupid ads saying don't let one group control all the info on the web, I thought it was a campaign against the US and ICANN, but wtf it's ask and their stupid campaigns.

Try asking Askwhat is one plus one?and then search Google.I do like sympathy for the devil though, so it's not all bad.

As weird and stupid as this ad campaign seems to be, I can't help but sense a new Internet meme coming from it...

Removing the (") quotation mark from both queries yields good results in both search engines.
