I don't know about the pictures and they don't seem to be a competitive search engine.

I just tried a few more searches including my own name "mike bates hawaii realtor" - take a look at the result: http://www.cuil.com/search?q=mike+bates+hawaii+realtor

The picture of the guy with white hair and a beard is NOT me! HA!

So they're not images from your site eh because it should be.

I pretty much ruled out Cuil from day one. It was never build on anything other than the idea that it's "bigger" but who cares? When have you been to google and not had enough results? That's really not what the search game is about, it's about relevancy and as you showed, it's doesn't quite have that down...

Yeah it looks like their results are pretty bad. It has some pages from our site indexed that haven't been around for about 6 months. Maybe it's too big for it's own good?

Looks like they got an image of a "Ron Paul for President" banner associated with google.co.uk some how...

I first read about Cuil in the newspaper, one of those articles talking about hot new trends. This time they were wrong.

Can't say there is anything too cool about it myself.
