Sure Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Bing all sound fairly weird - but they were also "new" words with no previous connotations to normal people. Even the name Bing got some hate initially but it has mostly gone away now, DDG remains a name that misses with people. Isn't Duck Duck Go a playground game?
Sorry man, I love your site and actually use it as my default search, but the branding blows. I'm actually going to doodle a better brand for you.
- CWuestefeld 16y agoDDG remains a name that misses with people I claim that DDG is a name that hits with people. However, it's a name that people think misses with other people. In other words, I think it's a matter of people imputing some overly-starched-shirt attitude onto others.
