I guess the term "personalized" (to use quotes of my own) infers using your personal data to tailor results. People who are opponents of that practice are huge advocates for DDG.

"using your personal data to tailor results", true, I don't like it either. When we are targeted, we always see the outdated ads from 9 out of 10 websites we visited but don't like to re-revisit. So "pull" is more favored than "push". See the book: "Pull - The Power of the Semantic Web to Transform Your Business" by David Siegel. But I do like personalized information storage. Maybe you want to reference to the blog post: Why do we need the Private Web? http://bit.ly/1c2DzN6 http://bit.ly/1c2DzN6

  " When we are targeted, we always see the outdated ads from 9 out of 10 websites we visited but don't like to re-revisit" this is very true. You have just listed a billion dollar idea. If I search for an adidas shoe or just go to a company website then I start seeing ads related to those just visited sites - how boring. Retargeting just seems to be plain stupid instead consumer should be showed more variety

    Yes, "more variety". Give you a big 5! We are like-minded. But from an idea to a popular web application has long way to go. We just kicked off our first Kickstarter project to spread the message out here: http://kck.st/JNqv8z http://kck.st/JNqv8z Some people gave me negative points, maybe they don't like the BingoBo.com website because it does not provide enough data.
