[url=http://duckduckgo.com/:1xivraie]Duck Duck Go[/url:1xivraie], the relatively new and somewhat unique search engine, was the subject of an article in the October issue of DavesComputerTips newsletter:

[i:1xivraie]"So, what is Duck Duck Go (apart from being a very strange name)? It is actually a search engine, along the lines of Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Except it is a somewhat different and unique search engine."[/i:1xivraie]...............Read the rest of the article [url=http://www.davescomputertips.com/newsletters/2010/101001.php#article7:1xivraie]HERE.[/url:1xivraie]

At that time Duck Duck Go was not supported by any of the leading site advisory services. Since then I've been communicating regularly with Duck Duck Go's head man and am happy to report that WOT is now on board; WOT's site ratings are now integrated into the Duck Duck Go search results.

Duck Duck Go is a very good alternative search engine with an uncrowded interface and some excellent features. Now that WOT has joined the team, it is even better.

WOT ratings are displayed to the left of each entry on the results page:

Thanks Jim for the heads up.

Have added it to my search engines in Firefox and checking it against Scroogle and Ixquick.
