It’s time for Google to DuckDuckGo

If you’re getting more and more uncomfortable with Google, like I am, let me suggest giving DuckDuckGo a try for your searching needs.

Why am I getting uncomfortable with Google? Firstly, they’re playing around with their privacy policy. While I don’t necessarily believe that the latest change is a bad one, what I don’t like is when companies move the goalposts on its users, particularly when it comes to something as important as privacy.

But far worse, in my opinion, is that Google is messing with their search results. Specifically, they’ve started pushing Google+ results that are not only unwanted, but inferior to other information that is available on the web. Google used to be able delivering the best search results. Now it’s about using any means necessary to push its way into the social realm that Facebook and Twitter dominate.

DuckDuckGo, on the other hand, is purely about serving up great search results. You know, a lot like Google used to be, back when it unseated AltaVista as the dominant search engine online.

Remember AltaVista?

I used to write stuff. Now, you may have noticed, not so much.

A wise man once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

He didn't even have kids.
