A month ago, I highlighted the explosive growth in privacy focused search engine DuckDuckGo. At the time, I also stated that I would start using it for my searches to see how it goes. Well I am very pleased to report that I have now successfully conditioned myself to use this search engine for about 90% of my online queries, and I have found the results to be excellent. It appears I am not the only one, as according to website information hub Alexa, DuckDuckGo’s performance has continued to go parabolic.
This just goes to show that when people decide they are fed up and want something new, they will shift to something new. We have the power to change things, we just need to wake up and do it.
In Liberty,
Mike

Obama promised change … Any minute now !
Good story
Couple of other privacy-oriented search engines are ixquick.com, startpage.com, and zeekly.com. I use all of them when possible, and get good results with all of them.
I found about Duck Duck Go via LewRockwell.com, haven’t looked back since.
You might want to think twice about DuckDuckGo. http://www.alexanderhanff.com/duckduckgone
I would second Amirs comments about Startpage etc.

I didn’t know that about DDG, thanks for the update
Give Zeekly.com a try.. you will not be disappointed. The site does not store search history, and is running on SSL encryption.
