A new kind of socially-biased search engine: Blekko

In the world of Google and Bing, why do we need yet another search engine? Well, Blekko's founder, Rich Skrenta, shows me a ton of things we can do with Blekko that we can't do with Google, particularly around social search. I've been using it for the past week and find it very compelling.

@conorucd i don't like blekko "kookieless" gets more hits in google

[conorucd]

@kookieless its a search engine, it serves people other than linux users.

[kookieless]

@conorucd i find it funny how blekko says it slashes out malware but with linux very slim chance i would get it

[conorucd]

@kookieless ye, the current apple os is completely unrelated to the apple 2 though. anyway, blekko is quite nice, better than cuil was and duckduckgo is and even bing

[kookieless]

@conorucd the funny thing is that the ceo of blekko made the first major virus called elk cloner on the apple ll in 1983

@str8out programmers tend to favour macs or at least linux machines.

Pretty cool... I just didn't like to see the signs of Apple favoritism. Two macs? Coincidence?

Blekko is a nice Search :)
