Topic: Google also gives result like DuckDuckGo - page 2. (Read 1890 times)
If your public key is posted on your profile it will also give your bitcointalk profile link as a search result. Google is always expanding the amount of information it can provide it's users and will likely continue to do so.
Google works if I put in a public key, it shows me the blockchain.info site with the address!
Yes, that is what I just said in my post. Thanks for confirming, now I know for sure the NSA was not playing games with me.

Just noticed that google also gives result on searching for a public key.
Last week they did not.
Probably because DuckDuckGo implemented this feature and google did not want to lose the first movers (I was about to make DuckDuckGo my default searchengine)
Google is not showing balance yet, but I think that's just a matter of time.
DDG is Google's biggest competitor, however they remain very small. Since DDG doesn't track you, supposedly, and lots of people want more privacy after Snowden's revelations, there is a huge potential for users. A lot of Bitcoin users also like privacy, and so DDG's tools allow for them to provide better information than what Google would, until Google repsonds by adding in their own tools to equal what DDG is going.Last week they did not.

Google will always want to be as good and better as it's competitors, so expect them to do things like this. A lot about business is less about creativity and more about pseudo-copying your competitors.
