Cuil, Who Is That Dude?

I gues it is my time to write about Cuil– the most recent talk of the internet. I am not sure I am ready to set Cuil as default search engine just yet. Some of my websites that are consistently show up on the first page of Yahoo, Google and MSN, are nowhere to be found on Cuil for the same keywords.

And of course there is the “vanity search“. But wait! Who is that dude whose picture is shown nex to one of the results for my vanity search? Strangely the picture appears right next to a search result for on of my websites. Oh, well I may just look like that dude in picture…. 30 years from now.

Jocking aside, it is good to see competition in among the search engines. They will need to constantly innovate in order to stay on top- hopefully providing the best possible experience to internet users.

  1. Yeah, there is some strange woman's picture on my site on Cuil also. What the heck is up with that? Have they no sense of marketing and branding and how they are screwing it up?

  2. Laurie,

    Thanks for stopping by. Strangely enough, I like the “snappiness” of their site. Really fast. Time will show how they do. If they listen to what people have to say. But according Matt Keagan's post (linked above), communication is not their strongest ally.

  6. Really funny.But, as you said it's good to see competition in search engine space.Nobody should
    wield the ultimate power in any field ,because power is highly intoxicating.Though I like Google very much I was hoping to see someone stand up to it ..

  9. Mark,

    Thanks for stopping by. I don't think I will be using Cuil for search any time soon. I think Google and the other two have raised the bar high enough to not allow just any one to enter the search business unless they have exceptional product.

    Again thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again around my blog.
