The biggest threat to Google search is if they make their search so bad that switching finally becomes attractive. That's how Google got its start. When Altavista couldn't update its index and filled with stale pages and spam, everyone switched to Google. 1/2 https://twitter.com/…

Stop trying to make technology “relatable.” I don't need my hammer to have a personality, either. I want it to just do the job. https://twitter.com/...

Well I'm glad I switched to DuckDuckGo for my default search engine a while ago. It's not the best, but it's good enough. Amount of crap littered on it: 0 https://twitter.com/...

There's soon going to be a gap in the market for an “AI-free” search engine — something which just catalogs and lists content from elsewhere without trying to do anything else, like Google's original model. https://twitter.com/...
