Et tu, Blingo?

As Pete noted last week, our previously BFFs at Blingo have changed their search provider from good, sweet Google to some gawd-awful mashup of Yahoo, Windows Live and Ask.

The net result is that search results are now a mess. Blingo has sponsored results mixed amongst native results (bad) as well as multiple returns for sites because of the co-mingled engines (really bad). As MichaelGuo says, Blingo's now sucko.

Until Blingo changes its ways and brings back the Google engine, I'm afraid it's sayonara, Blingo.
