Ask Jeeves Introduces New Features for MyJeeves Personal Search
System OAKLAND, Calif., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ask
Jeeves, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASKJ) today introduced an upgrade to MyJeeves,
the personal search system seamlessly integrated into the Ask
Jeeves search experience at http://www.ask.com/. Launched last
September as the first major search engine to enable users to
create their own "Personal Web," MyJeeves allows users to save
search queries and results, making it easy to find data they want
to use again. With new added features and functionality, MyJeeves
is now easier to use, more flexible and more robust. MyJeeves
allows users to manage data saved in their "Personal Web," which
can be organized with folders, tagged, searched and shared. The new
version of MyJeeves provides more robust information management
capabilities, making it easier to collect and organize data,
including images. As with previous versions, MyJeeves remains a
free service, which requires no registration. "Our goal is to
continue to launch products and features that help people find and
use information in a smarter, more intuitive way," said Jim
Lanzone, senior vice president of search properties at Ask Jeeves.
"This upgrade is an important next step in Ask Jeeves'
personalization strategy, continuing to lay the groundwork in
fulfilling our vision for search on the Web, the desktop, and
beyond. In the future, look for MyJeeves integration with both our
desktop product and with Bloglines." Searchers frequently find data
on the Web that they want to reference or use again. In fact,
third-party research by the University of Washington shows that 80
percent of searchers bookmark pages that they want to revisit. The
research also concluded that over 50 percent of study participants
will search again (using the same search terms, if they can
remember them) to re-access information they had previously found.
One benefit of MyJeeves is helping searchers keep "found things
found." New features include: -- New Ways to Add Data to MyJeeves
-- Toolbar integration allows searchers to send Web pages directly
to MyJeeves using the Ask Jeeves toolbars for both Internet
Explorer and Firefox. The toolbars make it easy to sign into
MyJeeves, save directly to a folder, save with notes and navigate
directly to a particular MyJeeves folder. Users can also select
portions of Web pages they want to "clip" to MyJeeves. -- Easily
import links to Web pages and images that other MyJeeves users
share via email. By simply clicking "add to MyJeeves" at the bottom
of email messages, users can add those links and annotations to
their own MyJeeves. -- Import Bookmarks from Internet Explorer,
Firebird, and Firefox with an easy-to-use utility that maintains
the folder structure of bookmarks within MyJeeves. -- New Support
for Images -- Users can now save links to images to MyJeeves by
right-clicking any image file on the Web or selecting Save on the
search results page in Ask Jeeves Picture Search. Thumbnail views
of images are displayed within MyJeeves for a quick preview and can
be easily tagged. -- More Robust Information Management -- MyJeeves
now supports hierarchical folders. Trees can be made up to 7
folders deep so users can organize folders and navigate through
their "Personal Web" the way they want to. -- Tag any data within
MyJeeves to add a user's own searchable meta data. This is
particularly useful when managing image files which have less
contextual information than Web pages. Future versions of MyJeeves
will enable users to sort and search by clicking these tags, which
will also be shareable with others. A new MyJeeves tutorial is
available at http://sp.ask.com/docs/mj/1.1/tour_intro.html . About
