Cuil Search Engine

Published by Toronto Mike on July 28, 2008 @ 10:52 in Technology

webCuil, pronounced cool, is the newest search engine out to steal a slice of Google's pie. I just checked it out for the first time by searching for toronto blog.

The results were fantastic! I mean, look at what's #1 in Cuil when you conduct that search. That's pretty cuil.

Too bad it can only find less than half the stuff I put in correctly. Maybe they slipped you some payola for the plug, because I can't see why anyone would make this switch. Sorry, even the layout is crap.

IMHO, trying to slay the Google beast at this point is a large exercise in frustration.

I suspect everyone will give Cuil a whirl for shits and giggles and promptly return to Google.

I've done some more playing around with Cuil, and it's pretty bad. They clearly weren't ready for their closeup.

Brutal.

I wish I could see them, but flickr (and similar sites) are blocked from my work location.

As far as cuil goes, it seems to be hit or miss. I searched for the name of my company (a rather large bank) and got no results.

Searching for my name got me a bunch though.

I'd pronounce it like "cuisine". Kool, kewl, cul, kul all sound like "cool" despite the different spellings. But "cuil"? No!

I searched for my last name. On Google, I'm #1... on Cuil, I wasn't on the first 3 pages... that's detriment for me.
