This is getting a bit more confusing to me. What I first thought was integration, using Jeeves to drive traffic to the money sites. Most analysts seem to agree.

Yet, with the deal announcement yesterday, Diller "dismissed the idea that Ask Jeeves would push customers to his other companies."

Instead, each of the other properties would push traffic to Jeeves to get more people to try it.

So, what's Barry really up to?
