DuckDuckGo on This Week in Startups

<i>I get flamed on HN 3 times a day, I don't know why</i><p><i>news.ycombinator.com, the incubator, has this site where people, nerds, talk about stuff</i><p>Your tone over the word 'nerds' (and the entire 30 seconds around it) is exactly why you get flamed. Maybe if you chill with the irrelevant bullshit, maintain your objectivity and do your job (in this case, focus on the interview), ppl would respect you.<p>P.S. Great guest this week.

I did not use DuckDuckGo before. Now I'm trying it. Say all you want, the interview worked.

Wow, Gabriel Weinberg came across really brilliant in that interview. Had never seen him speak, but I like how measured and thoughtful he is with his responses. Free of hyperbole, and solid ideas.

In the video Jason also states why future Ycombinator startups participating the facebook socializing of your product is a bad idea. You can watch it here<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWJAkjF9qnY#t=1h14m43s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWJAkjF9qnY#t=1h14m43s</a><p>Jason main point is that its a bad idea because facebook has a history stealing good ideas.<p>I disagree, not that they haven't done that or that there aren't other concerns, like facebook or twitter changing there platform policies. But worrying about any competitor stealing your idea is often a premature concern when you have other things to think about like whether you have a good idea, can you execute well on that idea, how will you get distribution and will people use it.<p>As Steve blank would say, "You should be so lucky to get to a size that you have a competitor thinking about you".<p>You should watch this clip Jason. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6USgPkfsVJM#t=25m55s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6USgPkfsVJM#t=25m55s</a><p>and thanks for TWiST, I enjoy it alot.

Did anything come up regarding DDG not really showing Mahalo pages in results?

So much irony during that interview!
