How To Cluster Sequences Based On Blast Results?
I want to cluster a set of DNA sequences into families based on BLAST results. Is there any idea what software I can use to do it? Thanks!

What research into this question have you done already? A simple Google search for "blast cluster" returns several useful hits, for example http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/12/116.
Once again, your absolutely useless answer.
Seriously? This thread is 3.4 years old. Why do you think it's necessary to come and post this? It's always encouraged that users do some research on their own before asking questions.
Your reaction is not in line with the expected behavior/attitude of users on biostars so I would suggest you to rethink your statement.
There are many ways (and reasons) to cluster sequences, so try to provide more information about what you are doing. For starters, please indicate what you mean by "families" because it is not clear from your question. For example, do you mean some kind of taxonomic grouping above the species level (i.e. family-level clustering), or are you trying to identify gene families, or transposable element families, or something else? Is this data from a single species? And, is this a model species group you are studying? If you can provide some of those details, I'm sure you will get some helpful answers.
