Just noticed that google also gives result on searching for a public key.
Last week they did not.
Probably because DuckDuckGo implemented this feature and google did not want to lose the first movers (I was about to make DuckDuckGo my default searchengine)
Google is not showing balance yet, but I think that's just a matter of time.
DDG is Google's biggest competitor, however they remain very small. Since DDG doesn't track you, supposedly, and lots of people want more privacy after Snowden's revelations, there is a huge potential for users. A lot of Bitcoin users also like privacy, and so DDG's tools allow for them to provide better information than what Google would, until Google repsonds by adding in their own tools to equal what DDG is going.
Google will always want to be as good and better as it's competitors, so expect them to do things like this. A lot about business is less about creativity and more about pseudo-copying your competitors.
DuckDuckGo as Google's biggest competitor? Are you Joking....? DuckDuckGo has to be the Stupidest name I've ever heard.
Yes, smaller than 1% of Google's "power", but they're the next best search engine. In my opinion, DDG > Yahoo/Bing, since Yahoo and Bing just blatantly copy Google, and often they do it poorly. DDG nearly mimicks Google perfectly, with accurate searches and in the time period I'm looking for. They also don't track you, which is nice.
So DDG is Google's biggest competitor that actually brings something new to the game, as opposed to just copying Google.
That may be true, however DuckDuckGo's name proabaly ensures that it will never get anywhere. That name is HORRIBLE.. They need a simple name, not something childish and stupid like duckduckgo.
