OTOH, maybe Google just got tired of people jumping ship to Blingo and decided to pull the plug on them. Either way, it sucks all around.</p> You would think Publisher’s Clearing House could afford to pay the licensing fees to Google to republish their search results, giving out the millions of dollars that they do.

Funny … search for “Blingo switch to Yahoo” in Blingo and you get nothing useful. Do it with Google, and this page is link #3.

Priceless!

I have seen other people mention a similar site called Winzy so I checked it out and it is a lot better than what Blingo has turned in to. I don’t know how good it is in the long run but it is worth checking out.

It hurts me so, it does. All Yahoo seems to give me at the top of its results is a bunch of online retailers where I can purchase whatever it is that I'm searching. I guess I can use Blingo whenever I need to purchase something online now and Google for anything important.</p> I’m still reeling from this change on Blingo. It hurts me so, it does.
