blogpost: 25 Things I Hate About Google, Revisited 5 Years Later

[attachimg=#1][/attachimg]
Five years ago, I wrote a story called “25 Things I Hate About Google.” (...) I thought it was worth revisiting that story on its five year anniversary, to see how many of those “hates” have been fixed.
(...)
In my story below, I’ll provide what I originally wrote and how the situation looks today. Each section will begin “Hate” if things haven’t changed, “Love” or “Like” if there’s been a fix, and there are some “Mixed” and “N/A” along the way.

This article reaffirms my general, vague dislike for google search. I have not really compared google to my favorite search engine duckduckgo. But DDG feels much better than google search.
It's quite an exhaustive revisit, but there is a scorecard at the end, so you don't have to read the whole thing :)

There is another post favoring duckduckgo over google search over at cybernetnews.
JavaJones:
Wait, DDG uses Bing search results (according to that article)??

So it would seem:
Where do you get your results?
From over 30 sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (in our own index), Yahoo! "BOSS", "embed.ly", "WolframAlpha", "EntireWeb", "Bing" & "Blekko".-https://duckduckgo.com/faq.html

Suddenly I care much less about DDG. Thought they were doing something truly new, but turns out they're largely just an aggregator basically. I wonder how much DuckDuckBot actually contributes...
