Yahoo buys DuckDuckGo.

  But DDG gets its raw results from Bing?

    Yep - but they have a strong "brand layer" (coining this now).

      Is DDG really that much of a name brand outside nerd circles? Maybe I just have weird friends, but almost no one I know IRL has ever heard of DDG, while quite a few have heard and used Bing.

        First you get the nerds, then you get the nerds friends, then you get the friends of friends, then you get the parents? :P

  I think Yahoo will buy Bing within 3 months after MSFT brings in the new CEO. MSFT will be more focused on the enterprise market and Yahoo will use Bing to fight google.
