DDG is a drop in the bucket.
- jacquesm 12y agoFor Google, but not for DDG. It is very well possible to compete with a large entity in a niche. DDG is doing very well if you compare it with other (much higher profile) attempts at launching a new search engine. Remember Cuil?
- graeme 12y agoExactly what I was looking for, thanks. The total isn't as important as the rate. Google has grown about 40% in the past four years. DDG has grown many times that. It's very, very dangerous to extrapolate growth rates into the future. But I doubt Google's will grow faster, whereas DDG still has the potential to keep up high rates of growth. If I did the math right (not certain), DDG has had 3096% average annual growth. Keeping that up for even four more years would make them large. So it's not ridiculous to pay attention to DDG's progress. Unless things level off.
