Very easy to forget IMHO, and hard to remember if it's duckduckgo, duckgoduck, gogoduck, duckgo, goduck, etc etc

No, it's easy to remember, if you remember the childrens' game "Duck Duck Goose." If you don't know the game, then yeah, the URL is just pretty nonsensical.

Ah. Is this an American game perhaps? Never heard of it. Thanks for explaining. May hamper global adoption :)

Yeah, it's an american thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Duck_Goose

I think pretty much all Americans know it instantly. I'm sure some will pipe up here not knowing it now...it's their queue :)

I knew the game once being reminded of it, but I didn't immediately make the connection reading about Duck Duck Go.

I'd throw another hat in the ring of, "Yeah, a better name would help."
