Beta Blekko is gathering attention from the high-end smarter searchers. 'not sure Granny would bring it up and render the slash tags as interesting as we informationistas, but this product is worthy of sharing with your friends. Just this morning a colleague posted this beta tool on our listserv for discussion.
Not only did I find the slash tags a wonderful addition to easy Boolean logic, narrowing my search instantly, but it was easy to figure out. Blekko struck me as a cross between a search engine + Boolean logic + social bookmarking site. This could be a valuable tool to use for a class research project (s) with slashtags for projects, narrowing, etc. Blekko struck me as a cross between a search engine + Boolean logic + social bookmarking site.

Don't miss the wonderful tutorial...done right! View here:
