I remember being in an Internet Cafe, being as always frustrated by not being able to find anything for my search on both Altavista and Yahoo. Back then Altavista was my primary search engine, but I hated it. The I saw “Google” loaded on another computer and decided to try it out. The difference in quality was overwhelming, in that first session it made me smile and made an instant convert out of me. Another difference is that Google did not have any ads initially, and when they finally added ads, they were clearly highlighting them as ads, instead of masking them as regular search results. And overall their interface was really clean compared with their competition. I don’t know if it was my search patterns, maybe other people had a different experience, but the difference was night and day. Even today, I may whine and moan about Google, but their Search is still the best and I’m saying this as a DuckDuckGo user.
