they claim to have a larger index than google, yet i can't find a ton of pages that google indexed long ago... maybe its just a larger index of spam. only time will tell though... they created quite a buzz. I heard of them on the 10o'clock news.
it defiantly needs work.. but there are a lot of cool features nobody has... it took 30 million in VC money to start cuil, they are probably burning through most of that right now 1. they will probably need more investment money as they grow.. 2. i don't see this company seriously challenging google, i imagine Yahoo or Microsoft will snatch them up first
I hope they can hang in there. More competition could only be benficial to us. And the site does look cuil
I think Cuil really needs a lot of hard work to provide more accurate and efficient results. But still looking forward to seeing their improvements.
It seems like the name is creating a bit of debate though http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/04/cuil_means_rear
It sucks, it was over-hyped and IMO Google is safe: http://www.calumneilson.com/blog/internet/cuil-an-over-hyped-money-pit/
google is best We all need some competition before google rule our world (the do rule the net already)
