11:29 AM EST 		I guess if the outrage is strong enough (as if there were varying levels of outrage), things happen...I mean aside of #Occupy...

3:00 PM EST 		Yeah!

I say UN-Occupy Bling and maybe UN-Occupy Duckduckgo as well. There, I've just joined the chorus.

3:25 PM EST 		Am I understanding that DDG incorporates Bing? If so, what flufferbeer said.

Here is a pretty good write up on them: http://www.mylinuxrig.com/post/5963246756/duckduckgo-a-searc...

DDG's main claim to fame is that they don't track you. They do track what gets searched, but they don't really care to keep all that history linked to a particular individual: http://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html

I like that they suggest other privacy minded search engines like scroogle and Ixquick on their privacy page.
