Are you trying to give up Spam? Perhaps, I should clarify. I'm not talking about Spam the luncheon meat that's been around for 75 years (though it's been said that Spam should only be eaten in moderation).
Do you want to give up spam (unsolicited messages or junk mail) AND please your professors at the same time? Blekko (trademarked as blekko - lowercase) may be the answer for you!
A spam-free search service, blekko uses slashtags to search by date, type of site, etc. Blekko's alignment with libraries is seen through its focus on high quality content.*
Please give blekko a chance and let us know what you AND your professors think!
Happy Discovery!
