dear blingo:
Dear Blingo,
Since nearly the beginning of your life I have been a large fan of you. I have referred many, many users to you. In turn, you have also been good to me. I have won many a fantastic prize, including my much loved and used ipod nano.
But alas, you have sold out to the corporate giant. I kept using you faithfully even when you became PCH. I even kept coming back when I stopped winning prizes. (It’s been FOREVER since I’ve won, yet I use you every day.) But now that you have discontinued your use of Google results and sprinkled your results with sponsored links, it is time that we part ways.
I will always remember how good you once were.
Longing for the old Blingo,
Allison ******

My sentiments exactly! I however will still use it some, but for “easy” searches. And sadly, I’ve never won. :(

I’ve used Blingo for a while, and miss the old one, too. I’ve never won anything, though.

I completely and whole-heartedly agree with your post.. The search results it gives now are just awful!

I completely agree with you. The old blingo was soo much better. Now I use it to search for google so i can use google for my searches. I really do wish there was some way to get them to return to the old way…
