Is blekko doomed from the start?
- chadp 16y agoTotally agree. I don't want to know or learn or care what a slashtag is. Back to work..
- benvanderbeek 16y agoI signed up for the beta and made it my home page. I tried hard to adopt. I exchanged emails w/ one of the guys there (he was super nice and replied quickly) when I had to revert to Google searches to find what I was looking for (80% of the time), but then gave up. If the basic search results quality/ranking was close to that of Google, I would have stuck with it. The slashtags are pretty cool. But like the article says, search isn't broken, and putting a cool extra on top of so-so core functionality won't work. And if slashtags did take off, it would be super easy for Google to add that in. (Unless I'm missing some kind of patent stuff.)
