Cuil?

Nowhere do they say how to pronounce their stupid web site name, but it’s supposed to be the big Google-killer.

I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s nice to look at (once you’ve searched for something, that is. I don’t really dig the black screen), but so far it hasn’t actually found what I’m looking for better than Google does.

For example, I looked up… cuil, and went through several pages looking for information about Cuil before giving up because I found none. I found a lot of Irish stuff (it’s an Irish word), but nothing about the search engine.

Looked up cuil in Google and cuil.com was the second hit. The first was a news story about cuil.com.

Cuil looked prettier, as I say, and had some slick dynamic stuff when you scroll over the categories. But, I mean, where’s the beef?
