Cuil, A new search engine is being unveiled by a few Google alumni trying to upstage their former employer. Cuil is pronounced ‘COOL’ and is only the latest in a long string of start-up companies that have been founded and financed with the goal of competing with the big boys of search.
Looking at their site it certainly isn’t shy and on the day of its launch was already claiming to be the biggest search engine on the planet, by indexing more than 120 billion pages so far.
I have only had five minutes to play around but have to say I thought it looked quite……cool and definitely intend to run some search experiments over the next few days before I make a call on its potential. I did how ever try to search for this blog which sadly didn’t feature. If you are in the same boat as me and would also like Cuil to crawl your site and have it included in its index you can do so by clicking on this link and emailing them.
