Do you think Google has good competition finally?

Question

Cuil is founded by former employees of Google and it claims to better Google. Have you tried searching through www.cuil.com? It is pronounced as 'cool'.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Not yet cuil can't compete with Google as of now. It still needs to improve a lot in its relevancy, freshness and more. More than anything I don't like this stuff from them "Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft."

This would help you to better understand the comparison of SEs & Cuil

Answer 2

Unfamiliar with it, but if they sell stock I would like to buy!

Answer 3

I'd say they need some time.  I searched it yesterday and they had some load problems on their server (or that was the message I got).  But later in the day I went back and it is cool.  

I'm interested to see how they develop - they certainly seem to have the right people leading it.

Answer 4

One thing I can sure, right now google is the number 1 and for sure cuil can't beat the google even yahoo and msn having a hard time to go to the position of google.

Answer 5

Nope, they are far behind Google. The following two links will give you a pretty clear example.
