Has anyone considered that the slightly longer and forgettable name DuckDuckGo might have something to do with the low mainstream presence? I think they should rebrand and market with duckgo or maybe just duck.com if at all practically possible.
- torvald 11y agoIt is probably not a big crucial factor for success, but I totally agree.
- AdamSC1 11y agoWe recently commented about this on a Reddit thread too (https://www.reddit.com/comments/3vtxib/duckduckgo_search_like_nobodys_watching/cxu4fy4 https://www.reddit.com/comments/3vtxib/duckduckgo_search_lik...) We do have a short domain "http://ddg.gg" http://ddg.gg" although it is worth noting that duck.com is owned by Google and points to their main search engine. So it's not really an option for us.
- burkaman 11y agoduck.com is explained here for anyone wondering: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/epd59/google_points_duckcom_at_google_search_after_duck/c19v4cz https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/epd59/google_po... It's not necessarily nefarious, the domain came from some unrelated acquisition, but they didn't have to make duck.com point to Google.
