Comment on I think DuckDuckGo would do better changing that Quack of a name

Comments

I agree they should re-brand. Duck.com would have been good. The day I saw duck.com redirected to Google I thought DuckDuckGo missed a great opportunity. That's where you see how savvy Google are.

They claim they tried to and were unable to. On2 had the domain and google acquired it when they bought the company.

Yes, but how much did they offer for Duck.com? Duck.com being now with Google, they should just rebrand to something else. Forget the duck. Go with something else. PunchBowl.com or whatever brandable name.
