DuckDuckGo friends, happy new year!

In 2013, over one billion searches were made on DuckDuckGo. Needless to say, it was a great year for us.

We're looking forward to similar greatness in 2014. We have a lot of big things planned for this year that we hope will address a lot of the excellent feedback you have been giving us for some time. So please stay tuned.

We also are continually focused on growing the DuckDuckGo community. Join us at duck.co to help shape your search engine.

Thank you for your continued support!

The DuckDuckGo Staff
