It's interesting, but... it's not as good as google in my opinion. It requires a far different approach to web surfing than other search engines. Besides, it sounds better to say that you googled something on the internet rather than to say that you cuiled something on the internet... :wah:

After playing around with the new search tool for the past hour I have concluded that it's got a ways to go before it really competes with Google. For one thing, it's slower in finding content. It has pictures and reads like a book, which is nice. The gal that started this site was responsible for much of Google's capabilities and left them to go out on her own. With 33 million in venture capital and some savy re: Google, only time will tell how successful the new search machine will be. Since I bought Google stock when it first came to market at $90 per share and still have it, I will be watching carefully.:-3

I clicked it and put a search in and waited ages, put the same search with google and the results came back immediately.

The search was Forum Garden, Google came back with 81,200,000 results.

Cuil came up with....

We'll be back soon

Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now. The search engine is momentarily unavailable as we add more capacity.

Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately I have none. :wah:
