Is it possible that we will soon optimize our websites not only for Google, but also for a new search engine called Cuil?
Cuil is a new search engine. The authors of this search engine formerly worked for IBM and Google. This means that these people have insider knowledge, and are able to build a new concept, or as they claim, they built it already. The makers claim that their search engine has three times more information than any other search engine.
That sounds very confident, whether it is true? I don’t think so. I tried to find out different keywords, such as city names or vegetable species in 4 languages (2 Western and 2 Eastern European languages) and a part of these simple words, were not found byCuil, although all of these words are available in Wikipedia.
In addition, I find the design of Cuil very disgusting. The black background appear to be depressing to me and I have no desire, to visit this page every day, what I do now with Google. Unfortunately, many functions, which I find as essential, including the possibility of filtering of search results by language are not offered by Cuil. Perhaps these functions will be implemented in future, but I got another bitter taste of the empty promises and now I’m a bit sceptical about Cuil. I think that there are many people who thinks like me. To work on Google or IBM, certainly not enough to convince me that Cuil is much better than any other search engine and the test results are the best example of this thesis.
