Not sure how the founders of Cuil (pronounced like “cool”) hope to stick it to their former employer, Google, when all their site has been displaying is:
I wish them luck, but there have been quite a few Google challengers over the past few years… None have been successful.
Yahoo is still hanging on (How? I have no idea…), but unless Cuil offers something really really new and exciting, well, they’ll go the way of Magellan — my original search engine of choice — in a matter of months…
Yeah, even when it was working, it wasn’t working too great. Overhyping and underperforming doesn’t make for a great launch. Also: It’s not cool to give your Google-killer search app a name nobody knows how to pronounce.
