How to pronounce cuil?
I read a bunch of blogs throughout my days on the internet, and this morning, there’s supposedly a new search engine that’s being put together with the intention of rivalling google’s. Really? And they raised all kinds of monay? Huh, must be something worth checking out. Now, I do not own a trademark on the “bizzar” brand, but I’ve used it as one of my key words on my sites and it helps me find my site quickly on new search engine products. Trust me, either you have my content or you don’t.
So, off to searching I go… http://www.cuil.com is the site (it’s supposed to be pronounced “cool” and indexes over 112 billion sites), and I entered “bizzar”. I get 112,000 results, none on the first page me. 1/2 are porn, the other 1/2 are the Insane Clown Posse CD that I am aware of (and hate). Huh, I’m probably on the second page then. Click the 2. Nothing. Click the 3. Nothing. A link to anything I’ve done on the internet doesn’t show up till page 7, and even then, it’s a link to one of my scripts from a garbage site. Page 8 has a couple links, but not to my site.
I found more porn than useful content with this search engine. What good is having a new rival to google if all it does is index porn and bury me on the bottom of the list. If I’m under sex, I’d at least like to be sweaty and enjoying it. Cuil.com, I am not enjoying. In my opinion, it’s garbage. Other searches are equally skewed.
So, final opinion… forget cuil.com. Cuil should be pronounced, “see you later” as in I’m closing my browser and ignoring your site. Also, the servers are now crashing and not returning anything. All that money and you didn’t invest in architecture??? Hi, this is 2008. Welcome to the internet. On a side note, google has “907,000 results for bizzar” and on the first page there’s 2 links for BizzarServer and 1 for something else I did. Thank you Google! Your algorithm is much better!
