Cuil – Look out google

What is it?

“Biggest search engine on the web” at least that is what cuil says about itself.

What does that mean?

Three former Google engineers think that Internet is growing like anything and other search engines (“old systems” according to them) run algorithms that were created much earlier and have different approaches and can not be modified to include every page on web today. So they came up with “cuil” which has different approach and algorithm and is different because

• cuil has indexed over 120 billion pages. Three times more than others
• Results are organised in magazine style
• Privacy protection – they don’t keep identifiable information on users and their search histories

Will it kill Google?

Does not look so for now. They are just one day old but there are some serious problems at start

• First day it was every where. CNN and other news channels featured cuil. Its on blogosphere everywhere. Result: severs were down on first day. They wrote “We’ll be back soon… due to overwhelming interest, our servers are running a bit hot right now”. Google has no such problem.
•  One of my friend searched for his hosting company and came up with results but there was a nude picture (which off-course has nothing to do with his hosting) and incorrect logo attached with his site in search pages.

Google is there since 1998 now and it has become giant on Internet by launching some wonderful things like AdWords/Adsense, Google analytics, Gmail and acquiring sites like Youtube. They are way ahead in search engine race.
So for the moment let Cuil take care of MSN and YAHOO (and other search engines). Google is getting bigger and bigger with every deal they make and every product or service they launch.
