Duck Duck Go Founder Asks Google to Sell Them Duck.com

Duck Duck Go founder asks Google to sell them Duck.com

So there was an interesting article on CNET today about Duck.com. Google acquired the domain back in 2010 when they acquired ON2.

But there is confusion, most people when they hear duck and search think of Duck Duck Go. When people typed in Duck.com they went to Google.com. Duck Duck Go did not like that.

So Google decided to make some changes and provide a link to their rival search engine, along with a link to Wikipedia.

All this conversation took place on Twitter and eventually the CEO and founder of Duck Duck Go asked Google to sell them Duck.com.

Thank you! That will clear up the consumer confusion.

Would you please consider selling the domain to us?
