I always do my Internet Searches through Blingo.com. The reason why I use Blingo.com is because I win Prizes with my  search. So far I have won two $5 Amazon.com prizes and received them both times on 09/25/07 & 3/7/08.

The reason why I am doing a Post about Blingo is because it seems they are no longer powered by Google and I would like to know the story behind it, one because I am nosy and two because their new search feature kind of sucks. Although I still continue to do my search through them daily.

So I decided to research it more and I thought of contacting support to see what happened until I looked it up on Wikipedia. It seems as though on March 27th 2008 they had switched from being Powered by Google to being Powered by Yahoo!, Live Search  and Ask.com.

Also, according to Wikipedia, users have stated that they had extremely poor customer service when contacting them for prizes and Blingo staff is suspicious of large referral lists. Personally, I believe everything is hearsay until I hear it from the horses mouth. So I just sent a message to Support for Blingo to see what is going on….
