I have a lot of respect for Gabriel. If I'm able to say that in one line, then so be it.
Edit:
lmkg's comment didn't say everyone should use DDG for all search needs. It pointed out the value of independent alternatives. One liner or not, it's valid and relevant. DDG is valuable to the discussion because it specifically attempts to innovate rather than copycat the status quo.
Wgj is correct, and I meant the DDG comment to be tongue-in-cheek. I think that became less clear because I segued into a serious point, sorry for the confusion. My point was only that a third search engine means that Google homogenizing the search industry isn't a good strategy anymore. DDG does that merely be existing, outside of anything else it does to differentiate itself (or rather, it would if it had more market share).
