While driving in this morning I heard a report on NPR that Cuil has launched. I remember looking at it in beta some months back. Pronounced "cool" and developed by former Google employees, Cuil proports to have "created the world's biggest index, and we've also developed useful features to help you search. They're simple to use and help you explore the variety and complexity of the Web." Worth checking out.
I agree, the interface isn't that user friendly.. but it's in the beta stages to give it time.. it's going to be interesting to see how bing and cuil go at it!
Cuil has launched! Wow that's indeed a great news.
I checked it out and ended up with mixed feelings - it's great to have a serious, young, agile competitor to Google at a time when Yahoo and Microsoft seem to be spinning their wheels, but the results aren't as relevant as they should be.
I find the user interface confusing too. Are the results in order of relevance from top to bottom or left to right?
I wish them luck but they still have a way to go.
