Cuil is a new search engine started by ex-employees of Google. "Cuil" supposedly means "wisdom" in Gaelic. In English, pronounced "cool." Here's a pretty good article on Cuil.
Cuil Philosophy:
- Size Matters
- Content & Context over Inbound Links
- Organization is Fundamental - Better classification of information
- Privacy is Paramount - Cuil analyzes the web, not its users
Jenna Ryan's Opinion on Cuil
I like the way the results show up. Very cool (pardon the pun), but I am not too happy with the random images the search engine pulls for each site. A search of "The Marketing Shop.com" uncovers a slew of photos that aren't ours, nor associated with The Marketing Shop.com. That's just NOT COOL. There is a photo of someone I've never seen before in my life next to my name when I search for "Jenna Ryan." That's just wierd. Hopefully it's a bug and they'll fix that some time soon.
