if bing is interested in optimizing its 15% search market share, this is a nice move (and don't get me wrong, 15% of search is a pretty big business). BUT, if they're interested in upending the market and really doing something interesting, they should have a chat with duckduckgo to see what the future of search might look like.
my hunch is the former is their goal...
- latch 14y agoDDG is my default search engine, i quite like it. But, you and I live in different galaxies if you think DDG is Bing's key to gaining market share. DDGs value of privacy and no filter bubbles, is not a compelling (or even understandable) concept to an overwhelming majority of users. Facebook proves this.
- agscala 14y agoEven to those who understand it, the value of DDG is variable. I tried DDG for a few weeks, but switched back to google simply because I was actually having to sort through more results than the specialized results that google gives me. I like feeling that my privacy is preserved on DDG but I'm still debating whether or not it's an acceptable trade-off for search result relevancy for me.
