Folks,

"DuckDuckGo" has been mentioned in our group as an alternative way to
search the web. Here's a good article for the why and how:

Myself, I rather like their attempt at "Instant Answers" rather than
just spewing up a few web links that may or may not be connected. The
other aspects of their approach appeals also.

Here's hoping they do not get squashed by the Big Boys or otherwise
become assimilated...


All going quack?! :-P

Cheers,
Martin
