Cuil Search Soars and Tanks

Overheard in the tech blogsphere has a great summation of the CUIL experience. I tried my favorite technique - searching my name and online handles on Cuil. The results were less than stellar. Sure, I got plenty of sites that don’t appear on Google’s list but the quality was poor. All I learned is that there’s a 24 year old woman in the UK who uses the same handle I do. It never even found the MySpace page that shares my handle, either.

I couldn’t help myself today when jumping on the Cuil bashing bandwagon. They really have a lot further to go to compete with Google. I do wish them all the luck in the world, and maybe some prayer wouldn’t hurt, either.
