They got incredible press coverage when their new search engine, called Blekko , launched this week - but they are probably going to get slaughtered. In the meantime, they have provided an opportunity for countless other freaks and geeks to use the magical tool they've built to grow our stature wherever we work; to cut through information overload, to shine a bright light on opportunities and to augment our minds with the snap of a finger.
