*Interview with DuckDuckGo founder Gabriel Weinberg*

http://www.techspot.com/article/559-gabriel-weinberg-interview/

Many have tried to challenge Google’s dominance of the search market over
the past few years, from small startups to big-name players with deep
pockets. But perhaps with the exception of Microsoft, which has poured
billions into its search efforts, all have failed to gain any significant
traction.

A relative newcomer to the search market, DuckDuckGo isn’t shying away from
the monumental task, however. In fact, with a simple, straightforward
interface and clean results they’ve come up with one of the most appealing
Google alternatives to date. Even if they are still far from changing the
status quo, their no nonsense approach to privacy and instant answers are
worth taking note of.

We had a chance to talk with the site’s creator Gabriel Weinberg a couple
of weeks ago. Here’s what he had to say about his four-year-old search
engine startup and his competitors.

Thank you.
