This might be a random point, but I'm curious if DDG will have to change their branding to be accepted beyond the tech space into mainstream searching.
I feel like "duck duck go" is too long for the avg american to grasp or use in an ongoing convo when compared to "google", "bing" or "yahoo."
I can't see people saying "just duck duck go it." Maybe something like DDG or "duckduck"instead?
Maybe that's just me...

- joelrunyon 11y agoI get that - I think my bigger point was that they need a verb to reference "duck it" "duckduck it" or "ddg it"
