    You mean competition will either make Google stronger or Cuil will kill it?

    They have done a brilliant job for a good start.... but they need to work a lot... they say to have indexed many pages and all dose.. but how many ppl use it?!? and moreover their site submission system is email based.. definitely needs a lil change!

    They are good as of now.. but a year is too short for it to beat google!!

    Google is the proven king.... synonymous with the term search engine!
    All the Best to Cuil developer team!

    Cuil is slow and has nothing else to offer except search. Google has a lot to offer including tools.

    Well, currently Cuil means search, not tools.

    I would hope they do as I think it would be good for google to have some competition. But the likelihood of this actually happening looks pretty slim unless cuil make some drastic changes.

    Basically cuil is still in infant stage so writing it off now itself is not wat i think is right.

    Cuil has a good design and they have done wat google has not.....changed the page colour to black i did read somewhere that if google change its main search page to black then it would save lot of power......coz white screen take more power......lol but i think this is true
    but on a serious note cuil must have indexed a lot of pages but its search result is still not perfectly relevent to wat searched.....but it can improve in time[dats wat i hope].
    Cuil may have got bit hyped by media and now in order to stay where there are i think they must work hard improve their search results in order to get users to their site.

    Just wait and watch that wat i can say and i hope they dont go the way searchme went....

    If Cuil could win then I think Yahoo has a much more chance but they never did, see it? Cuil is not that bad except three things

    - Their search results are not accurate (Give them more time)
    - Their has "nothing" different compared to Google, Yahoo except those ugly 3 columns search results display.
    - Google built up by differentiate which cause mouth to mouth marketing done very well for them, but I cannot see any similar to Cuil.

    I think Cuil should change their roll to be a search engine for mobile or in other market instead of trying to be like a Google. If Google can be killed by number of indexed pages then they should be killed by Yahoo from a long time ago. Google win over Yahoo because they really know search engine is not only about an advertising.

    @Sxperm

    Nice thought, I can't disagree with some of your points. However I think Cuil does not need to change their 3 column approx. The more we use Cuil, more we will like their SERP page.

    Hmmm, Mostly will only use CUIL one time. I personally didn't like it, its indexes is very bad & confused for mostly users. So, I don't think CUIL will kill Google

    I don't like Cuil very much, even if they did manage to grow big I think someone will buy them out thats probably their business plan.

    i think you are right.... i agree with you,
    most will use cuil for one time only.

    But i think it can compete with search engines other than Google.
