Have you seen Cuil yet?
Cuil, pronounced “cool” is the latest Search Engine challenge to Google. However, this 30 man team internet start up has ex Google employee’s on board to help them fashion out a new type of search engine.
The recent launch got big press attention from The New York Times, and focused mainly on their technical credibility which includes search heavy weights such as Tom Costello and a lot of ex-Google staff who are vying to out do and best Google at it’s own game.
Cuil is taking a new approach to search however which seems to be it’s biggest point of difference. Google did much the same thing when it knocked Yahoo of the top of the Perch – Yahoo having always been an information portal Google came along with a nice clean Search page as it’s main page – removing all the noise and making it useful to a lot of people.
