You had to already know about it though. That is a foul. Or, more accurately, a water-foul.
You're making me feel down, Ma' llard. My wife and I used to breed ducks and have a duck farm. We were quack addicts, and quack dealers. I could go on and on.

I can't wait to start saying "Go Duck yourself", and have it meant to be a request / complement to search your own name.
"Let me duck that for you" might get a few doubletakes.
duck.com will surely inspire the sick dolan[0] crowd

#234If using Firefox, you can now browse the web and search it with some animals, the Fox and the Duck .

#235Though this is a good move, DuckDuckGo should really try and work toward taking ownership of http://ddg.com . With the 'D' and 'G' key separated by just one key in between on a standard QWERTY keyboard, this should really make it exponentially easier to get to DuckDuckGo's homepage.

#236Might be a nice step towards rebranding for a bigger audience? I use DDG as a default search engine, but the name doesn't roll off the tongue nicely at all... Edit: It doesn't roll of my fingers either, I didn't even type out the full name...
I love DuckDuckGo and use it on all my devices, but, WOW what a horrible name/branding. What were they thinking? Every time I mention/recommend it to someone the response is always a blank stare followed by something along the lines of “I would never use that if only to avoid that horrible name / brand URL”. And I can’t say I blame them.

> To be honest I've never noticed the filter bubble everybody is talking about with Google. It's extremely obvious/bad when you try Googling some old article about an topic, often political, that has recently regained popularity. You can try adding all kinds of words from the headline, certain terms will always lead to the results being dominated with "current news", like with Russia/Ukraine or more recently with Chi…
You can specify a date range in Google btw. You click “tools” and then it will present a date option.

#238No mention of a sale? That seems so strange. I cant think of any other times that a business has given charity to a direct competitor like this.

What is a "Google"? It's not even a word. It caught on though.

#240I'm quite surprised there's no .go tld, I could see it being used quite a lot.
Especially considering there is .rs
Unless you create a new country, .go ain't happening.
That being said, Montenegro scored a freaking gold mine with .me.
