How cool do bloggers think cuil is?
Posted by paulstallard on July 29, 2008
Following my blog about Cuil yesterday I thought I would have a look around the blogosphere to see what other people made of the new search engine, especially after so much noise for such a new company. The following three caught my attention first and all made some good points.
First up was the excellent Stephen Waddington’s blog which did make me chuckle when I saw what you could find yourself looking at if you misspelt the site name. He also made a good point about Cuil being case sensitive which is a little disappointing.
Rather interestingly Alice Marshall has decided to use Cuil as her default search engine due to its privacy element. According to Cuil when you search they do not collect any personally identifiable information, and do not have any idea who sends queries: not by name, not by IP address, and not by cookies.
My colleague Jo Jamieson at Berkeley PR also had a play with Cuil this morning and found some interesting results if you search for it on Google.
I would be interested to hear what anyone else out there thinks.
