This has been my issue with DuckDuckGo from the start... it needs to be something a little more catchy and that rolls off the tongue. Saying "I'll DuckDuckGo it" feels so clunky.
As small of a gripe as it sounds like, it really does matter.
- yegg 5mo agoDuck it.
- jraph 5mo agoMind the F being dangerously close to the D on most keyboards here :-)
- jraph 5mo agoNo need to turn a brand into a verb for this. You look it up.
- meatmanek 5mo agoI still use google as a verb even though I use Kagi.
- Hugsbox 5mo agoI'm not saying that it necessarily needs to be a word that's easily turned into a verb, but it certainly doesn't need to be quite such a mouthful
- HDBaseT 5mo agoYeah, despite using Google still. I just say "Search". "Let me just search that up for you" Both work perfectly fine.
- tredre3 5mo agoBut none of Google's alternative sound any better. I'll bing it. I'll brave it. I'll ecosia it. I'll kagi it. I'll startpage it. I'll yandex it. Okay "I'll brave it" does sound fine, especially in our brave new world, but it's still ambiguous when speaking it.
