This is wonderful news. In addition to the slashtags, I'm excited about all the ranking data they're showing off.

Right now your only source of ranking data straight from a search engine is Yahoo's Site Explorer, and even that data is quite limited and its future availability uncertain. I've never seen duplicate content exposed so openly.

And as ora600 said, that level of transparency is something Google exceedingly unlikely to copy.

The problem with making ranking data a "feature" is that the only ones who care about this information only care about what the ranking data is on Google. What the rank is for your site on Blekko is of no value whatsoever.
