This podcast discusses the announcement of Cuil.

Cuil is a new search engine from former Google engineers.  It has been under development for about two years.

Cuil uses a different approach to indexing.  Out of the gate, they claim to have indexed 120 billion web pages. 

Cuil is indexing content based on content and displaying other relevant keyword.  Their monetization strategy is not apparent.

They are using a semantic approach by helping the user with similar keywords.  For many search results, cuil displays a table to the right with suggested categories to consider in the search.

Cuil is displaying results in a magazine style using three columns across.  Each page is not limited to 10 listings.  Most listings displays a graphical image such as a company logo.  Graphical images are being pulled by their algorthm.  Cuil makes being on the first page even more compelling. 

From a user experience standpoint Cuil seems friendly and easy to use. 

It remains to be seen in the long run if Cuil will gain market share.  Google is the king of search engines. 

We are focused on understanding the impact of Cuil on search engine optimization (SEO). 

Will Google legally challenge Cuil?

Stay tuned for more on Cuil.

What do you think of Cuil?

    Actually I think it will be really hard for Cuil to compete with Google

    Being that everyone is so well trained on Google and on face value it does seem that Cuil presents results that lead you to other results (which means you have to click even more to find what you are looking for)

    I think the simplicity of Google could be their biggest challenge

    I agree Cuil has an uphill battle against Google. But, I remember WordPerfect, dBase and Lotus 123. Each of them was dominant and seemingly untouchable in their day.

    So, I say “never say never.”

    As interesting and engaging as the Cuil interface may be if its algorithms are not better than Google’s, they will have a real up hill battle before them to capture sizable market share.

    Google can change its interface to look more like Cuil more quickly than Cuil can expand its algorithms. A test of Cuil’s search capabilities return far less than Goolge- again…the algorithms are the lynchpin to their success.

    Also, Cuil’s homepage is presented on a black field. I don’t see any reference to the “eco-green” benefit of saving electricity. Did they knowingly go with a black home page to eco-green friendly or do you think they did it to be the “Ying” of Google , which appears on a white page?

    Also haven’t had enough time to rummage around on the Cuil site to learn about its versions of AdWords and Analytics. Does Cuil even offer this at this time?

    One things for certain, you are absolutely correct, it should be interesting.

    This may not be the ideal place to ask this, but I am trying to find a pest management company inside the pittsburgh area and have no way to find out who is the most effective. I discovered this company that’s definitely close to me and wished to see if any person has any assessments on them.

    This might not be the best place to inquire about this, but I’m trying to find a pest control company inside the pittsburgh region and have no way to find out who is the most effective. I located this company which is actually close to me and wanted to see if anybody has any testimonials on them. Spectrum Pest Control, 3058 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, PA 15216 – (412) 446-2802
