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’s just a simple, straightforward search engine that’s reminiscent of early Google, with a no-nonsense privacy policy (it will not store any information that could tie you to your searches).

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:
