I interviewed founder Rich Skrenta about the company and their recent $200k investment from Ashton Kutcher. Why is Ashton Kutcher investing in a search engine? As Skrenta explains, in the search sector when you’re up against the beasts that are Google and Bing, it comes down to marketing; getting people to visit your site. With Ashton’s social graph including a whopping 6.3million Twitter follows, he can hopefully help Blekko make the noise it needs to succeed.
Blekko now has bothAndroid and iPhone appsand you can follow Kutcher’s activity on Blekkohere.
