I wrote this blog post, I'm not from a PR firm or paid by a PR firm. I have been using ddg exclusively for a few days and really enjoy it.

Not everyone's use cases are the same, but for my normal everyday use it has had excellent results.

Complete linkbait piece then, b/c DDG is anything but popular.

Seriously?

There have been several posts about it, recently, right here on hacker news, John Gruber mentioned it in his podcast the Talk show, and it was also named one of Time's best 50 Websites of 2011 http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29...

How is that not popular?

Been around a long time, never caught on. Their traffic #s from compete are a joke, even if they were off by a magnitude - still shows they are stale. They should try something different than competing with google.

Hey, please email me at [email protected] if you don't mind -- I'm the founder. I'm interested why you're so negative on us. Here are our real traffic #s btw: https://duckduckgo.com/traffic.html

I got a question: is there a way to increase the number of default results returned to a higher number?
