On Feb 15th, a group of students visited the headquarters of Duck Duck Go (DDG), a search engine with new approaches to solving the search problem. We had a lively discussion about the increasing personalization of web content and the problem of the filter bubble, Duck Duck Go's approach to this problem specifically and search in general. There was a great discussion about startups, and we also learned about DDG's open source approach to developing search features, with a demonstration of how we can create new features for the DDG search engine.
