Wired: New Search Engine Eliminates Spam And Ad Sites
New search engine on the block Blekko is promising more of the good stuff and less of the junk in its search results.
“Ignore for a minute the awkward name: Blekko.
Instead, behold that as of late Sunday afternoon, there’s a new search engine in town that’s got a fresh approach to weed out the ever-proliferating junk and spam sites polluting search results.
It’s no mean feat — it’s taken 3 years, some $25 million in venture capital, and a gamble that there’s enough people who care about good search to make its model of curated results work.
And Blekko does works, thanks to a little thing called slash tags.”
