I didn't see it working, but if it can deliver as stated (save 20% of developer time), it has a tremendous value for any IT company. It will also increase the feeling of a global community of developers.

Krugle bills itself as the search engine for developers but it’s much more than that. It’s the world’s most complete indexed repository of open source code.
