New Search Engine "Cuil" Not Exactly Ice
July 29, 2008
Well, it's here. The search engine that some people have been waiting for, from some people that used to work for Google. Cuil launched on Monday, and so far, it has been off to a little bit of a rocky start. It spent most of Monday crashing and most of Tuesday working better than Monday, but still not flawlessly. Of course, any site launch has its issues, but when you're going up against Google, you gotta be pretty spot on.
Maybe Cuil does have a larger search index than Google through better search algorithms. That's great for them, but they're never going to beat the G-men. First off, Cuil pronounced "cool" is kind of a pretty stupid name. "Cuil it?" Something is already lost in translation there. It does have a little bit of a slicker edge to it, but maybe Google just needs to consider giving itself a face life. And what about images, and directions, and maps, and RSS readers, and email, and... well, I guess a search engine is a start.
