I've been weaning myself from the large search engines - particularly Google - along with services like FaceBook for about a year. I now mostly use DuckDuckGo for search - it isn't the best by a long shot, but I know how to form search questions and dislike the ads and being the product for a third party. I recognize that I am never really free of being sold as a project online, but I try to minimize it where possible.
Apparently DuckDuckGo usage is up with the NSA kerfuffle..
Several mashups of a Pixar inspired parody of NSA appeared in the past day or so. Here is one of the better ones (yeah - I know YouTube was purchased by Google a long time ago. That is the Google service I am most connected to) ... spitting into the wind perhaps...
