Bye Bye Ms.Dewey Search Engine

I have rather shocking news to report. The loverly search engine sexy ex-porn star, MsDewey, has gone on to Search Engine Heaven (or is on vacation with some half-naked SEO’s feeding her grapes?)

I shall miss you.

Ms Dewey Charges Into SES Keynote Discussion

In her traditionally wacky, I’ll-dance-naked-on-the- bar-for-you kind of way, she teases Steve by saying, “You look really leadery.” He launches into a promotional dialog about delivering search in a different way and who can do this better than MsDewey?

During the roughly three minutes she was up there, she didn’t shut up. She inquires with Steve about her future and makes a list of demands for what she wants (”I want to go to Paris, or Panama…”) and apparently “Jeeves” is her chauffer now. Despite her script and its theme of the “future of search”, Danny seemed a little surprised at the intrusion and forgot where he was in his questioning.

This experimental search engine has been missing for a month now.

    What a shame to take away something so fun and different…. huge mistake in my opinion to cancel out on something so entertaining. Understandably that the “Ms. Dewey” search engine wasn’t for everyone, especially when trying to get some serious work done. Her constant chatter could get annoying at times but this is why someone very clever put that silencer button off to the side…. and problem solved! I hope to see her return some day, perhaps she should have a male counter part for all the ladies as well.

  4. I will miss you Ms Dewey…
    Lot many i used to ask you weired questions, i still remember how you used to answer those questions.

    It was a good concept in the field ot search engine, Visual search engine.

    Why should they always close down god things – think they need to re-hire Ms. Dewey to be back on the screen as one of the best search engine on the market…

    Very sorry they done this close down…

    Cheers,

    / Roman

    ‘MsDewey’ was indeed a revolution in search engine experience…She was so advanced and the setting futuristic. Just hope similar search engines come in the near future.

    Oh, how disappointing to learn that Ms Dewey is gone. I hope they bring her back. She was so much fun.
