One more connect

From BL archives:

Which name 'connects' the illustrious successor of the not-so-famous fictional character Meadowes and the Web-based company founded by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen in 1996?

Meadows sounds very Wodehouse-ian... so dare i say - askjeeves?

Absolutely right Abhi,

Jeeves is the 'connect'. AskJeeves is the company founded by Gruener and Warthen.

oh yay! that was a real shot in the dark. which one is meadows btw?

Sriram said...

Hey, I spelt it wrong. It's actually Meadowes, whom Jeeves replaced as Wooster's valet. I am not changing the spelling in the blog too!

Sriram said...

I am now changing (and not 'not changing') ... !!
