Seeing Google challenged is NOT everyday affair. So this Monday (28th July 2008) becomes really COOL to see that happen, when cuil got launched few hours back and claiming that it searches 3 times more web page than Google does.I tried, looks OK, but NOT "compulsive" enough that I will start "cuiling" rather than "googling" with immediate effect. But then who knows...It took a while from shifting to Yahooing to Googling 8 years back. I am also happy that it will let the Google to retain and keep working on its competitive edge..which probably it was not finding anymore from Microsoft or Yahoo!
What I liked about Cuil (pronounced cool) is the way it categorizes the results. What I did not like is my name search gives ZERO results. Also doing a quick search using terms "Ahmedabad blast" gave disappointing result for Cuile. So for me ..it still has a long way to go! But once they fix these small issues it will be interesting to see which big fish tries to eat this "small fish" first.
