Cuil Sucks

OK, I can believe that it’s possible to create a better search algorithm than Google and make a serious dent in their market-share over a long period of time. But you’d better have a better product first. A MUCH better product.

Just tried out new search engine cuil and the results feel like 1995 all over again…I keep finding myself saying, “why the heck is that showing up?”.

Not impressed and I expect it to die quickly.

    I completely agree. When I conducted a search for “Bellevue Washington” the first result was for “Lexus of Bellevue.” Most of the others were for car dealerships as well! The first result should have been something about Bellevue’s history, location or chamber of commerce…something to that effect…this search engine is useless.

    @mike Yup, exactly. The reason Google is #1 is for 1 reason and 1 reason only. The best search results. Not a clever user interface.
