well in my computer active book last week gave a little artical aobu this web site cuil.com now i don't know if this site been mentioned before, but it is a maker of ex google engineer, but it index more pages then google and they are trying to make google run for its money, about time!
Used it a while ago and wasn't impressed. Only displayed a limited amount of results and as farrhad says the results are completely messed up and come in a strange order. Maybe it'll take a while to get it up to speed.
I agree that it might take a while to get things running and have enough indexed pages. I dont think this will harm google to much. The results page is completely new and my experience is that most people stay with what they know.
After the initial excitement, Cuil is not living up to the expectations, The site visit has dropped as being tracked by statcounter on their blog http://blog.statcounter.com For a while Cuil didn't have their own site indexed (sad) ... and most of the time doesn't show website that you know exist .. would take a lot of revamp if they desire to succeed. Thx
