    Google can still fall away.. as a matter of fact.. just recently it was revealed that people are searching MORE.. BUT.. they are searching LESS in the search engines! This is trend that said would take place 2 years ago :) Give it another 2 years and you are going to see a whole different landscape.

    Cuil is a pipedream built on old thinking. They needed to find some way to burn VC money and they did. Once the cash runs out.. it will be a quiet death. :)

    I don't think so . Google will stay on top until Larry comes up with another search engine .

    They need to do something extra ordinary to topple Google, but they can certainly take a descent market share. Though I've yet to visit Cuil so can't really say if they're there yet. They could've worked a bit more on the name, but that's my opinion :)

    Many good sites had failed because of their names. A particular video sharing site (with an odd name) was much better than YouTube yet traffic flocked to YouTube.

    It is a sure sign of failure when you have to repeatedly spell the site's name.

    Cuil has a great chance become to be better search engine than Google within 10 years. Unfortunately in '99 I was so stupid that I missed the buying of Google stocks. I hope I'll be much wiser in the case of Cuil!

    It is important for Cuil to be out there because frankly there aren't any decent competitors for Google. I actually kind of dig cool. When you use it your mindset changes a bit.

    But also I like it that they don't record IP addresses with their searched. If you register with adsense or webmaster tools and search with Google then they know who you are and what you look at every day.

    I'm not too sure if Cuil can even compete with Google. Well I've explained why over here. So take a look and let me know what you think.

    I doubt it, when I searched "Cat" in Cuil it came up with really random results, buying cats and things of that variety,

    Wheras Google gave me Wikipedia which was what I was expecting on both, for me, Google every time.

    Cuil sucks... their indexed pages are way low than Google indexed pages. Compare the search results and you'll get to know what I mean. Just hope it gets better as it goes :)

    I like their interface, hate the colors though. I agree its not a fair fight. 10 years compared to less than one year?

    I do admit I hate the colours, and it isn't helped by the fact that it takes me 5mins to load up a page of results.

    I do not see signs of cuil being better than google. They will do good in the search engine area but nothing will be able to beat google for a few decades.

    Of course it will improve but it won't compate with google or others. I thing it's too late for a new search engine.

    cuil is no improvement on the functionality of search engines other than a different layout of SERP.

    I'm sure it will last, but it's not that great IMO... what does it revolutionize? does it help everyone from poor to rich? Is it going to help our economy anyway? Does it help people trying to make it in a depressed economy? Not really.. For this reason I think that cuil is just "another" search engine and not the evolution we were all hoping for.


    We need a search engine to integrate with the economy and get us out of this rut. Google does a great job of this but they are too big to complete an evolution. Evolution must be done by a fresh search engine to remain cost effective.

    ;-)
