Thanks to an agressive privacy policy and a simple homepage, TIME is digging Gabe Weinberg’s DuckDuckGo search engine as the anti-Google. From TIME:

It doesn’t involve e-mail, maps, real-time results or social networking.

Based in Valley Forge, Weinberg is also behind the Open Angel Forum and keeps an active blog about his startup efforts including a post on how he was selected for the list:
