Cuil Isn’t As Cool As Google
The new search engine www.cuil.com pronouned as ‘cool’ has been formed by an impressive pedigree with its three founders: Tom Costello of IBM’s WebFountain project, plus Anna Patterson and Russell Power of Google’s TeraGoogle project, Google’s massive search index. Cuil also counts former AltaVista founder Louis Monier — who later went to eBay and then Google as part of the team. The interface is okay when compared to the unique interface of google. Moreover, it has alot more functionality as it is claimed by the founders. There are four major areas that Cuil is putting out to distinguish itself from other services. These are:
- Big web index
- Unique relevance algorithm
- Unique results display
- Privacy
I’m going to dive into each of these areas in depth, to examine the importance of them as well as dissect some of the misconceptions they have.
