For the record, I only made this post in an attempt to get a link to the search engine somewhere in the article, in this case through the Sphere-powered related posts section. It didn't work :(

FWIW, here's the funding breakdown mentioned in the blog post...from crunchbase:

Wolfram Alpha: ?

Search Me: $43.6M

Kosmix: $55M

Hakia: $21M

Twitter: $55M

Duck Duck Go: bootstrapped :)



What a rip-off for you that they think enough of you to make a screen shot of Duck visible in the graphic... but mention you not in the text (let alone hotlink). "Journalism," they call it. :/


It's probably not too late to ask them for a link.


I did that too :). I also left a comment, but then comments were apparently closed before they added mine. This post was a last ditch effort.
