The search engine was available for those who liked Blekko on Facebook, followed it on Twitter, or sent it a tweet. Although Blekko remains in beta but in a public beta, it's a great improvement over the initial teaser landing page that greeted people for years with a simple search box with the words, "Coming soon."
