Guy Stuff at Guys Clubhouse

First, I’ve been working behind the scenes a bit for a week or so. I hope all 5 of you guys have noticed a few changes. I’m hoping things are a bit easier on the eye’s than before, so let me know in the comments K.

Has anyone been watching this new search engine Blekko? I have to say, it seems quite good. Now, I’ll be honest here, don’t really get the “slash tag” stuff yet, but I’m working on it. The regular search is fast and does yield different results than google, which, I don’t know, is that good? I’m feeling like it is. Blekko may have the potential to really change how we search, I mean if you own a website, you want to check out Blekko. There are no secrets,  your SEO info is right there for yea.  Actually, on their about page, you’ll find this, hope your sitting down!

web search bill of rights

1. Search shall be open
2. Search results shall involve people
3. Ranking data shall not be kept secret
4. Web data shall be readily available
5. There is no one-size-fits-all for search
6. Advanced search shall be accessible
7. Search engine tools shall be open to all
8. Search & community go hand-in-hand
9. Spam does not belong in search results
10. Privacy of searchers shall not be violated

I know, crazy talk! If you use the slash tags, you would search like this:

wheat beer / homebrew

This gives you higher quality search results which is great! No spam sites or anything.  I’m still playing with it, but I find it fun! On a side note, does anyone use Bing or Yahoo? Just wondering. If you do, educate the clubhouse as to why and help us out K.

So go take a peek at Blekko and see what you think. It’s a nice change I find.
