cuil is CRAP

Ok, it's been months since I have written a blog because I have been so insanely busy.  However, this is so absurd that I had to write about it.

Former engineers of Google decided to start their own search engine called "cuil".  I took at look at cuil.com to give it a test drive, and here is what I think:

  1. What does "cuil" mean?
  2. Most people have dislexic tendencies, they are never going to remember how to spell "cuil". (Caitlyn Carradine was the one who pointed this out)
  3. When you query the search engine, it takes at least 60 - 120 seconds to see any results... you're lucky if you get any results at all
  4. I searched for "grant powell", a query that returns 13 MILLION RESULTS on Google!  cuil claims that their search engine has more than 3 times as many searchable pages than Google, yet when you search for "grant powell" it returns 0, thats right ZERO results.
  5. You can't search for images... useless
  6. I think CUIL stands for COMPLETELY USELESS INTERNET LOCATION
