Cuil, which is the latest search-engine Google killer can’t find itself. Cuil claims to have a bigger index than Google, where many of Cuil’s engineers previously worked.  So why can’t Cuil find itself? A Cuil search for “Cuil” doesn’t find Cuil. My recommendations to Cuil: Focus on reinventing search technology and not the user interface for search results Pick a name that is easy to pronounce and read Don’t fix what isn’t broken

Cuil, which is the latest search-engine Google killer can’t find itself. Cuil claims to have a bigger index than Google, where many of Cuil’s engineers previously worked. 

So why can’t Cuil find itself? A Cuil search for “Cuil” doesn’t find Cuil.

My recommendations to Cuil:

  1. Focus on reinventing search technology and not the user interface for search results
  2. Pick a name that is easy to pronounce and read
  3. Don’t fix what isn’t broken
