I wish DuckDuckGo would change their name and branding. I can't take anything they do seriously.

- arkadiyt 11y agoThey've made a ton of improvements since the last time I tried them - I'm using them permanently now to get away from Google and it's great. Would recommend giving it a try. My only 2 complaints are: 1) I make a search and want to see news (or whatever) but they don't show the news link - they only display it based on some algorithm that is wrong all the time. 2) No maps - Google is still the leader here. Would be great to see some sort of integration between duckduckgo and openstreetmap
- moollaza 11y agoFor 1 -- try adding "news" to the query. That should almost always trigger our News Instant Answer For 2 -- We actually have maps powered by openstreetmap: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=20+paoli+pike+paoli&ia=maps https://duckduckgo.com/?q=20+paoli+pike+paoli&ia=maps
- alohaas 11y agoAlso check out the directions feature we recently integrated to maps so you can hop to another service if you like :) https://duck.co/blog/post/291/directions https://duck.co/blog/post/291/directions
- Mc_Big_G 11y agoIf you don't use any services with ridiculous names, you must be interneting like it's 1999.
- dhimes 11y agoEverybody was Yahoo! even then-- still ridiculous. And if you called customer service, somebody yodeled it in your ear. They still might for all I know.
- dredmorbius 11y agoMore like 1995. Yahoo! Amazon. Google. AltaVista. HotWired. Dogpile. Excite.
- hotcool 11y agoI like their branding. Really like it. More personal, less of a corporate feel. I hope they don't change a thing.
- clouddrover 11y agoWhat, the name DuckDuckGo is entirely unlike those serious names Google, Yahoo, and Bing?
- ijhnv 11y agoTo be honest, after years of hearing it, Google kind of sounds serious to me now.
