Will Cuil rival Google?

Shorter name is really the only competitive advantage. Everything else is worse.

 

I disagree about the name. It's shorter but the spelling is terrible. Cool.com would be another matter.

 

Cuil is a waste of time..

 

That did make me chuckle
having a shorter name than google will not be a competitive advantage. even if it was a.com

 

I really don't like the way search results are shown. It's certainly a good idea and very innovative, but i wouldn't stop using Google over this.

 

So far Cuil was not able to prove that they are better then Google in any ways. May be down the road, not yet though.

 

10 - 20 years max if they play their cards right and launch a major ad campaign.

 

They may get there but for now... Forget it...

 

haha I can't even spell it! Not interested

 

No, its never been Google's rival.

 

I agree. Cuil has no advantage over Google right now.
We'll see what Cuil does throughout the years.

 

Cuil sucks...its only a spin....

 

The worthiness of cuil cannot be gauged now. Let us see how far the buddie cuil takes the mighty google in the days to come...

 

How do you pronounce it?

 

I would bet the founder of Google are reading posts just like this and are taking their notes down now. Perhaps in the near future we will see many improvements that could rival Google. However, first impressions are lasting.

 

You pronounce it "cool".

 

I think the name is actually somewhat creative. The fact that it's pronounced the same as "cool" but is actually an old Irish word meaning "knowledge" is kind of neat.

 

I was wondering about that too. I think it's either coo-ill or cool.

I can't imagine saying "I'll Cool it." in the place of "I'll Google it." It just doesn't sound right. :/

 

I certainly hope they make it... google needs a rival. Better for the rest of us skunks

 

Google already has lots of rivals like Yahoo and Ask.com. I guess what you're saying is that they need somebody who is more competitive and has a higher percentage of the search engine market.
