@jrballesteros05 @mgiagante @garritfra I think the point is to emphasize that google is not the only search engine. @mgiagante @garritfra I've tried saying "quack" as a verb for ddg but even people who know ddg don't always get it. "dugkduckgo" is just not easy to say. I've also said "let me Google that" and immediately texted them a link to a ddg.gg/?q=x , which dilutes the trademark, at least. @travisfw @mgiagante @garritfra Trademark dilution through a generic trademark is definitely a thing that some companies fight against. There was a time when “Nintendo” was becoming a generic term, and they fought against that, and the term game console won out. |
@mgiagante @garritfra In my opinion is better to say "Let me search that for you". Now DDG seems to be a good company but Google was a good company in the past. I think is better to keep a neutral way.
