What's Blekko? The name not only doesn't mean anything but sounds like the sound of disgust "Blech", and blekko.com doesn't point to anything interesting.

That said, their server setup is pretty nifty.

I knew I remembered the name blekko from somewhere.

It was a popular telnet destination in the late 90s. Not sure if it is related to this.
