mindprince | 13 years ago | on: Google competitor DuckDuckGo says it's getting shut out

On chrome, when I right click on the search bar on duckduckgo.com (or any site), I get an option to "Add as search engine...", on clicking it, I get a dialog box for specifying Name, Keyword and URL. What chrome can do is add a checkbox to this dialog box for making it the default search engine.

Google, 2 to 0

Here's what I searched for -

-my name (Google, I chose Google because it gave more of my results, which may not be fair.)

-extract articles from websites (Google, in this search google's result were much better.)

-python ide for mac (Draw)

-new york time (Draw)

-glusterfs (Draw)

Check out http://www.saavn.com, I think they do provide such licences.

It was only a matter of time before people stopped visiting these sites on their own. The digital content scene in India is much better than in the US.

In the US you pay for watching TV Series online on Netflix. Those series are sometimes delayed by months. In India most of the TV Shows are available to view on the next day on YouTube (http://youtube-global.blogspot.in/2012/03/19000-episodes-of-...)

In the US you pay for streaming music services like Spotify. On the other hand all of the Bollywood songs are available for unlimited free streaming on http://www.saavn.com. They even have a free iPhone/Android app with unlimited streaming (The app and websites use adverts as the main revenue stream.)

Doesn't Google have a partnership with GoDaddy for registering Google Apps domains? Conflict of interests?
