For many of us, our relationship with Google is almost synonymous with our relationship with the Internet.

You know, email via Gmail, all our corporate information on G-Dox, of course, all of our personal and business searching information.

And it's come out recently that, of course, the NSA has access to all this.

Now we know that.

But it might be that other people want access to that information too.

And we're going to talk about some of those things today with Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of Duck Duck Go, a search engine that offers real privacy.

We're going to talk about what real privacy means today, what Google knows about us.

And plus a bunch of cool startup stuff, Gabriel Weinberg is also an angel investor,

and he's taken investment from some of the most famous venture capitalists in the world.

So we're going to talk about what it's like to have that red phone and what it takes for

young founders to get out of the blocks and have a successful startup. On a purely procedural note,

the show notes to this one are at

Tropicalmba.com slash duck.go. And I noticed something the other day while I was walking down

the street. On the iOS, at least, if you have an iPhone, you can click the logo to this podcast

and see all the show notes. So you could check out Gabriel's Twitter profile. If he mentions

an article on this podcast, you can click

on the link right on your phone. Also, we'll provide a link to the comments so you can go right

into the comments and ask us a question we'd love to hear from you. Anyway, I'm about to hop on a

planet to see the boss man and the whole tropical NBA team, as well as a bunch of DCers in

Austin. I'm excited about that.

So we'll have Bossman on the show next Thursday morning. If you'd like to comment on this one,

it's tropical MBA.com slash duck, duck, go. Let's get started.
