Tried Cuil, it has the potential of making it’s way to the charts of search engine portals. Nevertheless, google still wins currently with their astronomical server farm data.

I like the interface, saves up energy by appearing black so basically Cuil is more environmental friendly than Google. The way the results are displayed is creative but a little bit confusing. If they could allow AJAX functions for real time data modification of search results like major blogs, it will have a competitive edge against Google.

Haha, just submitted my sites to be indexed by Cuil. =p

thanks for this, i read of cuil in a newspaper article and forgot about it, but ur posting make me try it. i typed in my name and saw there were three other anthonywongs who are famous. and i like cuil’s way of putting summaries in 3 columns. easy to read them all. and i then typed in gametes69 and saw a great selection of posts i made in the past. v impressive, because usually google just throws up a mass of irrelevant stuff, indiscriminately, no matter how tenous the link. cuil selects it in order of importance and its 3 columns makes it easy to see them at once on one page. I shall use cuil from now on. and i predict they will beat google.

Cuil is definitely going for it, but it’s hard to imagine them doing anything but incremental changes to what Google’s done. And even that would take years of effort.

Me.dium.com has taken a different tack. We have a full web index, but we change the results based on the surfing activity of our user base (now over 2,000,000). It’s in alpha, but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. http://me.dium.com/search

Cuil has really cool interface. It looks as if like Ipod menu interface when u search. HOWEVER, it is nice to look at, suck to use.

I searched for my site. Whackonly. It gave irrelevant results. Well, needless to say, google gave me revelant results.

so..

Google 1 – 0 cuil

wow this post was just as useful as a transvestites dick. i think you could have just summed everything up to “theres a new search engine called Cuil with XXX features and XXX fallbacks”.

u phail.

oh and your “slide to post” comment button function is neither impressive nor original. pleasee
