[Ipg-smz] Is DuckDuckGo a future star or flash in the pan?

Well I am already losing patience with it. It can't find a lot of things
that Google puts at the top of the results. I want my privacy but I also
want an answer.

I do too. Even Ann Cavoukian and other privacy gurus approve of it (tho I
must admit, I told Ann about it during a Twitter chat we were having about
being stalked by search engines).

Google may be at risk of losing their brand trademark because it's becoming
a generic term, much as Kimberley Clark almost lost Kleenex - they had a
funny campaign in Writer's Digest a few years ago reminding people that
Kleenex is a trademarked brand, not a generic term for tissue.

That's the search engine I use, by default, having learned about it from my
SO.

The big challenge, IMHO, is that "google" has become a lower-case general
term.
