pg's analysis was spot on, then [1]. I recently realized DuckDuckGo would be a hit when a hacker friend who does not read HN started using DDG as his primary search engine.
To me, this means it is out there. I switched too, at least for a while, and now I use both google and DDG, constantly having the impression that DDG's results are getting better and better.

- anthuswilliams 15y agoI remember specifically thinking of DDG when PG mentioned search engines in that keynote. I've used DDG since 2010 and I would never switch back.
- marcamillion 15y agoAlthough I don't use DDG, I too thought of them specifically when PG mentioned it. Let's see if PG turns out to be right on this one.
