Cuil.com Is A Truckload Of Fail

If you didn't know, a new web search engine* debuted today, called cuil.com. It was supposed to be a "google killer". They've paid for (and gotten) a huge media blitz today, going so far as to be on CNN's mainpage. It has bee a tad oversold, methinks. Has a streamlined interfaced, and results are displayed as articles. Well, maybe I should say, WOULD be displayed as articles, IF it returned any results. On anything. Their search algorithm is SO bad, it won't even return "cuil.com". And it's horribly unhelpful when you don't get a result:



*By "engine", I mean in the same way that a hamster wheel is an engine. As in, not really.

Seriously, just stick with google.
