Apparantly, some ex-employees from G have started a new search engine called cuil.com. I tried it and it is being overloaded from the news coverage. Wasn't impressed, but it had already indexed my site.

they are already calling it the biggest search engine on the web, ranks based on relevance and content as opposed to popularity. amazing what a husband and wife can do when they team up...

still no threat to google, servers crashed around 3:00 today with debut...not a good start but expected

if interested in more info. check out this article from TIME

Just a personal observation:

Horrible choice for a domain name. "Cuil" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

[Anyone have an idea on how its even pronounced?]

[Dallas Broker]

pronounced "cool" means wisdom or knowledge in Gaelic

Heh, yea - they should have gone for something more marketable - and less of a play on words IMO.


I mean seriously: what does "ebay" have to do with "online auction"? nothing. But its easy to remember/say/spell.

The domains should be a little better IMO. I just searched for my site and some random woman is on my website?

They mentioned something about that on the report. They are not correlated. I don't remember why.

interesting, I've been getting around 30-40 new users per day on one of my sites and 3rd user that registered today at 3:00am listed source as cuil. haven't seen a search referral from cuil until official launch yesterday.

How Did You Hear About Us: web search on Cuill.com

at this point, I more interested if and how quickly they will at move into the #2,#3,or#4 SE position as opposed to if and how quickly they will pass google.

It's one of those obvious quotes, cuil (cool). I pronounce it cool dot com. One thing I have learned is big potiential starts in small thoughts. Try an SEO on your real estate area and see if you come on a page. The layout isn't bad though......

I don't like it... my sites are not found

But seriously, you got to admire them for even messing with big G.
