Blekko – An Anti-Spam Search Engine

Blekko is a new comer in the search engine space that can give Google a run for its money in the long run. The company was fouded by Rich Skrenta and already earned itself an angel round from Baseline Ventures and two ex-Googlers. This search engine uses slashtags, basically a slash (/) followed by a tag. With this you can define your vertical. No doubt Google has the monopoly on the market. But Blekko proves that there’s always room for an innovative idea to shine through.
