Duck Duck Go Troll Is The Best Thing On The Internet Today

Someone put this out on Twitter today, and it is absolutely brilliant.

I’m liking the double meaning here. 😂#Google pic.twitter.com/WWiTJ1rYGb

Now, I have no idea whether this is in any way affiliated with Duck Duck Go…but it should be.

Here’s the thing. A bunch of people have commented on our Google memo posts that they’re going to start using Duck Duck Go instead of Google. That’s fine, but Google affects our lives SO MUCH MORE than simple Google searches.

According to this:

Google, the humble search engine, has grown a lot over the years.

 

It’s an advertising powerhouse, building a series of products that run our lives — like Gmail, Google Maps, Android, Chrome — and under its new umbrella corporation, Alphabet, the company is developing products like driverless cars and surgical robots that promise to transform our lives.

And there’s more.

Alphabet also owns ALL OF THESE COMPANIES:

A – Alphabet / Android / AdSense / Analytics / Ara / AdMob / Alerts
B – Blogger / Boston Dynamics / Books
C – Calico / Cardboard / Capital
D – Drive / DeepMind / Design / DoubleClick
E – Earth / Express
F – Fiber / Fi / Flights / FeedBurner / Firebase / Finance
G – Google / Gmail / Glass / Groups
H – Hangouts
I – Images / Ingress / Inbox / Invite Media
J – Jump
K – Keep
L – Life Sciences / Local / Loon
M – Maps / My Business / Makani
N – Nest / News / Nexus / Now
O – Offers
P – Plus / Play / Photos / Picasa / Pixate / Patents
Q – (Nexus) Q
R – Refine / reCaptcha
S – Search / Shopping / SageTV /Stackdriver / Skybox / Skia / Scholar
T – Translate / Tango
U – N/A
V – Voice / Ventures / VirusTotal / Video
W – Wallet / Wing
X – X Labs
Y – YouTube
Z – Project Z / Zagat

You use many of these EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Many without knowing it. Guaranteed.

What I’m getting at is that Google’s influence and presence is pervasive in our lives. THAT’S why all of this Google stuff is important.
