Duckduckgo.com
FWIW, gave up on Google search engine a few months ago out of frustration -- kept getting junk results no matter the varied query terms, too many commercial sites, too many shopping "suggestions" related to past purchases/searches in spite of conservative privacy settings. (The calendar and gmail are not user friendly, either, imo.)
Did a (challenging) search for recommended search engine alternative, found duckduckgo.com. Clean interface. Fast, straight-to-the-target results list. Options to make it default on Safari (all devices) & other browsers, can customize, including removing ALL tracking. So far, a maps-search means choosing an alt-browser, but it's painless. I also use AdBlock, ClickToFlash, and WOT extensions and they've prevented some nasty clickfalls.
Re. Vimeo not having large "enough" audience: Seems like youth use it a lot, and if enough of us bail on YouTube and move to Vimeo or some other (hopefully) less invasive host...
Am also hoping for a trustworthy FaceBook alternative, sooner than later. "Closed" a LinkedIn account ("deleting" each piece of personal info first, in hopes of blocking future use of the info) after seeing FB friends with no business/school association pop up as suggested contacts. DDG (rather than google) it: there's a lot of unsettling alleged privacy violation going on in both camps.
Worries me that so many young people say, "so what?" attitude. Elders grew up with more rights-to-privacy and jr./high school required reading like 1984. Many take the long view that the direction we're herded [*not a typo*] can't be good.
The Big Brother irony is not lost on me, but government "greed" accusations? Hey, if they can quash unethical business practices AND keep my personal info out of as many wrong hands as possible AND get compensated for fulfilling duties AND without raising the ire of Tea Partiers... more power to them.
