it can definitely be viewed as a "calm before the storm". or if you're familiar with gentrification, the "cool cats" are living on this side of town.
- chc 16y agoYes, many knowledgeable people prefer Blekko or DuckDuckGo. But that's "many" in the absolute sense, where "many" people are part of any arbitrary group on a planet of 7 billion. Relative to the size of the group we're talking about, even among geeks, using DuckDuckGo as your main search engine is rare. It certainly doesn't look like DuckDuckGo has a glut of tech industry leaders using it exclusively — mostly just the odd geek here and there who wants to try something new or who has just decided he doesn't like Google.
