DuckDuckGo vs. Google Search

Derek Walter recommends the metasearch engine DuckDuckGo.com for greater user privacy. Walter notes that

DuckDuckGo's search results come from its own crawler (named DuckDuckBot, of course) and over 100 different sources, such as Yandex, Wolfram Alpha, and Bing. You can also take the search engine mobile with its apps for iOS and Android.

Walter also recommends using the ZoHo Docs word processor and spreadsheet for privacy reasons.
