At least I can pronounce google. How in the fuck do you pronounce cuil?

Agent 488 07-28-2008 10:23 AM

very poor results.

cheekycherry 07-28-2008 10:25 AM

You pronounce it "cool" they say... There's a problem right there.

"yeah Jom, go search on cool dot com"...

Jesus, shitty results, shitty results page, shitty name.

Bye bye cuil.

I saw the article this morning and played around with it a bit. Didn't like the results I was getting.

The end result is Cuil, pronounced "cool." Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.

If someone told me to check out cool dot com I sure would not enter cuil.com

Read the story. If you have a problem with the pronunciation, take it up with the creators.

Babaganoosh 07-28-2008 11:03 AM

Looks like you were too slow to edit out one of your famous snide remarks. :1orglaugh

I saw your reliance after I made my post, which is why I edited it. The name is dumb and will prevent its ability to succeed.

StarkReality 07-28-2008 11:04 AM

I doubt any competitor would even stand a slight chance against google, since anyone successfully competing with anything google offers has three options:

1. Sell to google for an insane ammount of money
2. Be stomped to the ground by their army of lawyers
3. Sell to google competitor who maybe big but doesn't successfully break the google domination anyway

ericdv 07-28-2008 11:06 AM

results are way off on everything i have searched...

do a search for 'free porn' and you will see some interesting results. i also find the multi column layout really confusing and i don't understand the 'explore by category' feature.

teg0 07-28-2008 11:06 AM

i just dont really like the results I get when searching.

mynameisjim 07-28-2008 11:24 AM

Being as big as Google is gives big G the luxury of time. Even if someone came out with a SE that was 2X better, Google could slowly make it's own results comparable without losing too much market share in the process.

To knock down big G you will need revolutionary new search engine that is unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

I checked out this site and the results are terrible so far. I searched for an adult message board and "ilovejesus.com" was the number two result with an article about roller coasters????

I'm no fan of Google but I'm not seeing anything in Cuil that is groundbreaking. At least so far.

Fucker Five 07-28-2008 11:27 AM

This new search engine has a different interface from what we?re used to seen online! The magazine' template doesn?t work well! I think it's a mistake, the results are difficult to read, because of the confusing way they?re displayed, I think it needs a better hierarchy.

magicmike 07-28-2008 11:32 AM

Some new ideas for search, but bad results so far, and its buggy.

_Richard_ 07-28-2008 11:33 AM

should be interesting where it leads..

but:

We didn’t find any results for “hotels vancouver”

boo..

but really ... I doubt they will upstage google... what will happen is that they will force google to finally evolve the way it does search si ce cuill can care two cents about backlinks when calculating serp positions and brings a web 2.0 interface to search

the key will be in the young and college crowd... if cuil can promote a rebellious or cooler than dads search engine attitude among the young then yeah google would have a serious problem 3 or 4 years from now. But yeah this is definitely something to watch

as long as the VC money keeps rolling in and she dosent give in and fold with a sell to google

I don't think many people are really that loyal to google or any search engine for that matter. A SE is a tool and that is it. If Cuil proves to be the better tool and provide the user with better and faster search results then google will have a fight on it's hands.

brandonstills 07-28-2008 11:50 AM

Bad name. How do you get "cool" from "cuil"? That's a bit of a stretch.

A competitor to google is good for everyone (well almost). Site appears to be down for me. Their servers are probably being overloaded.

kane 07-28-2008 11:50 AM

So far I'm not impressed. The results often are pretty crappy and don't really give you any good stuff. I did a search for a few things and half the results are just spam doorway pages and things that have nothing to do with what I searched for. The key to having a popular search engine is delivering Serps that people want and can use and so far this one doesn't seem to be doing that. Maybe they will adjust and get better, but first impression is everything. I see no reason for me to use them now over google. In six months when they are better I will will most likely have forgotten about them.

Xniphobe 07-28-2008 12:19 PM

Meanwhile, the phrase "Cuil Sucks" is making its way up the Google Hot Trends list of the most popular search terms. So far today, it has peaked at 35.

What a way to launch.

$33mil in investments? with google buying up shit left right and center, and throwing offers around like $200million for digg, i wouldn't doubt if you see CUIL bought up with a year or so. if Google considers them to be that big a threat, they will start tossing money at them like it's going out of style...

TarPy 07-28-2008 01:20 PM

No results due to load....


uh, seems like they got some work to do

nnweb 07-28-2008 01:37 PM

this may be the worst i have used. i dont like nav or results pages.

google fears nothing at the moment, especially from these guys.

and why is it telling over 2 million results but returning 1 page which has nothing to do with my search term????

bronco67 07-28-2008 01:43 PM

They won't be going anywhere unless they come up with a better name than Google.

itto 07-28-2008 01:46 PM

even cuil'ing for "cuil" or "cuil.com" returns shit results.

Well Cuil sucks... but google is not cool or anything... maybe it is now because they are well known, branded, used as a verb, had a successful IPO and one of the biggest businesses, but it wasn't back in the days. I remember when I first went on their website I was asking myself wtf is a google? some type of goggles or something?

I also remember the days when people actually used excite and when av ruled the se world.
I still use babel fish to this day but it's now yahoo babel fish.

No results because of high load...

Due to excessive load, our servers didn't return results. Please try your search again.

Was funny on CNN when the chick tried to use the site and it was not accessible.

MattO 07-28-2008 03:20 PM

Their spider is a piece of shit, too. Google "twiceler" and you'll see how people have been pissed because it's been slamming their servers. I blocked it from hitting my server a while ago and based on the shit searches I'm seeing on their site, I don't regret it.

sound slike shotty database issues...

either that or with the media as of late they are suffering a "lag" time with people testing it out...

either way, seems like they wont be competing with google, yet

xmas13 07-28-2008 03:21 PM

I can't believe they raised $33 million. :))
