    yah, i was reading a blog about this on wired.com this morning. seems very promising and the fact that it doesn't build up the same ridiculous level of privacy intrusion as google is very good to see as well.

    Seems promising enough even at this early stage.
    I wonder how they manage IP based searching though, or if they even will.

    Scour - Search Socially is another SE launched this week. Scour is a social search engine. It's a handy tool for analysing the big three's SERPS.

    Its great to see them get so much buzz but a pity is mostly negative at this point. Smart move by not tracking their users as more and more people become aware of the whole privacy thing its going to give them a bit more trust.

    Personally I don't like how the results are laid out. I am set in my old ways of having list results but I could see the average user liking it. I didn't expect to see totally relevant results but I have seen better in smaller engines. They have a long way to go yet.

    With their outage today I hope it doesn't turn into another twitter.

    A few thoughts ...

    I've done some searches and its no where close on some of my searches ... (am I basing that on google ... yes)

    If you would like Cuil to crawl your site and have it included in our index, please let us know.
    ??? links to an email address crawler@ ... I'm not sure how that works ... but a bit more info would be nice

    The search results feel confusing ...

    I'm not too keen on the colours used ... black is nice but ... its all just not working too well for me. I guess it kinda feels too web 2.0ey

    I was playing with it yesterday morning and was appalled by the results it was returning - they just arent relevant. The register is running a story describing a prime example. It's nsfw so I won't provide a link. I won't be using it for a while yet.

    I don't like it a bit - the layout is awful and beside that, where are the images pulled from because one of my websites seems to have an image that I don't remember having it on the server....

    I seen someone else say the same thing. Pulling an image from one site to advertise another isn't good especially when its an example like you seen (that image is funny though).
