My Reviews
Sunset Over Water by MaDonna
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Seems to induce the feeling of sundown heading into evening. A beautiful picture and good job of turning it into a theme.
DuckDuckGo (HTTP)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I stumbled onto “Duck Duck Go” by accident, so I tried it out. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy, fast and relevant it is! There is an over-supply of search engines, but this one is better than most. I find the results to be more relevant than other more well-known searchers, and I like the layout of the `results page; it seems a bit less cluttered than others. As far as the name goes: I've had my own companies in the past, and I learned that the name of a product is very important. The most important thing is to choose a name which will be remembered because it “stands out” in people’s minds. Otherwise, the name will not help you get your product noticed in an ocean of similar products; you must get people to try your product at least once or they will never see how wonderful it is. Even if the name is "idiotic", as one reviewer here called it, as long as it "sticks" in people's minds, and does not conjure up a negative image, it will do the job. It is better to have a name like "“Duck Duck Go " or "sillysearch" etc. , where the name itself can help, than to choose something which gratifies egos by sounding complex or dignified, and is easily forgotten because it is or sounds like a word people hear too often, or, don’t know the meaning of. IMHO.
Oh, by the way, as I said earlier, this is an outstanding search engine; I have made it the default search engine wherever that option is available on my system. I have found that the results I get on the first page or so are usually all I need, which is good when you search for what seems like a very unique name and get millions of hits! On the other hand, when I use more well-known search engines, I often need to go several deep pages (or more!) to find the unique link I am looking for. I highly recommend this search engine!
