Another Search Engine that Respects “Your Privacy”

Posted in All Posts, Privacy on July 28th, 2008

Hey, it’s “your privacy” after all.  And it is nobodies damn business what you search for on the Internet.

A few posts back, we introduced you to ixguick.com.  We have been using it and are very pleased with the quality search results provided.

Well, we have found another search engine that does not keep a search history.  Named Cuil, after an old Irish word for knowledge.

Find it at http://www.cuil.com/

Search Engine that Respects Your Privacy

Posted in All Posts on July 17th, 2008

Didn’t know there was such a thing.  But sure enough, http://ixquick.com/ does not store any search information.  In fact:

On July 14th Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal.
Ixquick is now the first and only EU-approved search engine.

Goodbye google.

A Way to Send a Private Note

Posted in Email Security, New, Privacy, Security Tools on July 6th, 2008

Go to https://privnote.com/

  1. Write a private note (add a return receipt if desired).
  2. Past the link to the note in an email and send.
  3. It can only be read once and will self-destruct.

Maxwell Smart couldn’t do any better.
