Introducing the Duck Duck Go Blog

 
Today I started the official blog for Duck Duck Go, aptly named Duck Duck Blog.  The inaugural post is What People Search First at Duck Duck Go.  The general blog feed is here.

The idea for the new blog is to give you a unique view on search from inside a search engine.  In particular, I hope the posts will be on things that you won't find elsewhere and will have a propensity towards data and technical stuff. So add it your blog reader!

I'm still going to post about Duck Duck Go here (on this blog), but will stick to non-search specific things like Perl code and CSS/JS hacks. 

Duck Duck Go on CNN Home Page!

 
Duck Duck Go is on the top of the CNN home page!  Well, our logo is :). Sadly, there is no link to us in the story, but I'm not complaining at all.  Seriously.  

I couldn't be more happy and proud.None of my projects have ever been on CNN, let alone in the lead featured article.I'm even more proud because the other 5 companies pictured all have ridiculous funding. While they have over $150M in combined funding, we are bootstrapped.

Believe it or not, even without the link, we're still getting a decent amount of traffic though. t's funny--the Go of Duck Duck Go is not in the picture so we're getting a lot of requests from people searching "duck duck" in Google and CNN.

Anyway here's the story link for when it is off the home page. And here's a snapshot that documents this was real!
