Blekko announced a major redesign yesterday - from their logo color schemes (dark red to light blue) to pretty much everything you see.
Blekko detailed the three core changes:
- Blekko now exposes multiple search categories to help users navigate to high quality results more efficiently and with less queries
- Blekko supports a responsive design that adjusts to tablet and desktop screen sizes
- The site has been redesigned with a new aesthetic and navigational approach that we hope users find fun and engaging
Yes, it looks pretty, here is a vanity search for my name:
But are the results any better?
The two sites that come up under the SEO category, I do not write for. If I dig deeper, yes, Search Engine Land and Search Engine Roundtable do come up. But I do not write for the other two, heck, I never wrote for Search Engine Journal.
A WebmasterWorld thread has similar complaints. They say the search results look pretty but the results themselves are well off the mark.

Searched for Webmaster Forum and the top results are pinterest, an iTunes app for V7N, a UK webmaster forum I've never heard of, a Google Support Forum, then a twitter directory. The bottom six are populated by WebmasterWorld, searchengineland, a single member profile from SEOMoz, bottoming out with highrankingsforum and searchenginewatch. Not useful.
What do you think?
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
