Duck Duck go on CNN top story as a logo
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoFor the record, I only made this post in an attempt to get a link to the search engine somewhere in the article, in this case through the Sphere-powered related posts section. It didn't work :( Story: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/05/12/future.search.engine/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/05/12/future.search.engine/inde... (YC's Scoopler is mentioned in the article.) Snapshot: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/cnn.pdf http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/cnn.pdf FWIW, here's the funding breakdown mentioned in the blog post...from crunchbase: Wolfram Alpha: ? Search Me: $43.6M Kosmix: $55M Hakia: $21M Twitter: $55M Duck Duck Go: bootstrapped :)
- rms 17y agoIt's probably not too late to ask them for a link.
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoI did that too :). I also left a comment, but then comments were apparently closed before they added mine. This post was a last ditch effort.
- CalmQuiet 17y agoWhat a rip-off for you that they think enough of you to make a screen shot of Duck visible in the graphic... but mention you not in the text (let alone hotlink). "Journalism," they call it. :/
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoCongrats Gabriel. DuckDuckGo trumps these guys, and I'm glad CNN got you guys into the article. Best of luck.
- pj 17y agoThis is a really good search engine. I've been looking for one and I'm going to use this as the default in my browser for a while. Very nice work. Very impressed. It's fast, the results are pretty good and the interface with the show more and hitting the down arrow to keep going is really nice.
- endtime 17y agoSuggestion, in case anyone from DDG is reading this. Switch the locations of the about link and the share link. I tried to click about, and in the process moused over the share link, which popped up some box that covered the about link.
