Cuil: New competition for Google?

Badie05 · Cuil: New competition for Google?

Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.

She believes her latest invention is even more valuable — only this time it's not for sale.

Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.

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.

After getting inquiries about Cuil, Google asserted on its blog Friday that it regularly scans through 1 trillion unique Web links. But Google said it doesn't index them all because they either point to similar content or would diminish the quality of its search results in some other way.

So how is that better?

It's not, I find google to be better in every aspect.
I think Google is in a leading position and they will never get beaten off.
They have too much money, thus power now.

Relevance and overview are some keyfeatures that google owns the competition with
Though Cuil is without doubt the second best search engine imo

Yes, I agree. Just changed the title. I happens that ex-google employess made this usg less tech than yahoo and google. SO it's cost friendly but still not as powerful. If google takes their idea they will index the world

. Even our emails :S. Google is gonna take over the world, NOT Microsoft as we all thought
