ask jeeves sold to a parent company and rebranded "ask . com" in 2006. shortly after, in 2007, they ran a tv ad campaign called "instant getifaction".
the literal moment I first saw that ad, the term "getify" came to mind, and I immediately picked my company name and nickname.

I asked a few people if they remembered Ask Jeeves and every single one looked at me like I made it up. HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER ASK JEEVES??? We literally used to ask a cartoon butler questions before Google became everyone’s entire personality. Please tell me someone else remembers this.View quoted post on X
