Cuil !! ( Or should I say "cool"?)

MENLO PARK, California - A start-up led by former star Google engineers on Sunday unveiled a new Web search service that aims to outdo the Internet search leader in size, but faces an uphill battle changing Web surfing habits.


Cuil Inc (pronounced "cool") is offering a new search service at http://www.cuil.com that the company claims can index, faster and more cheaply, a far larger portion of the Web than Google, which boasts the largest online index.

The would-be Google rival says its service goes beyond prevailing search techniques that focus on Web links and audience traffic patterns and instead analyzes the context of each page and the concepts behind each user search request.

OH! And I so looked up to Google! I just heard they had like 14 restaurants, massage areas, yoga classes, on-site daycare - all FREE for their employees (of course they don't tell you they expect their employees to work 23 hours a day...) I love Google. I would be lost without Google. But I'll try Cuil, just because. Thanks for the heads-up!

Ever since I started surfing I've always used Altavista...I just liked the way in sets things up better than Google, which I hardly ever use. I'll have to try out this new thing tho.
