Not So ‘Cuil’ Debut…

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.
