Former Google engineers started Cuil (pronounced "cool") this morning to compete with Google. I tried it for a while this morning... not impressed. What are YOUR results?

Now I get this message, "We’ll be back soon...

Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now. The search engine is momentarily unavailable as we add more capacity.

Thanks for your patience."

I used it to run a few searches... Nothing spectacular - I like Google better. At least thus far, it doesn't appear you can do searches of images, video, etc.

Ran the same speed as any other search engine.

They were talking about it this morning on the news. Apparantly it's not finished yet. I guess they're just getting the name out there for now but if it ain't done, then why do so? You're just turning people off that way.

Uphill battle for them, especially after the Google Attorney's dissect them for claiming they are using proprietary search tech.

What's the point of another effing search engine? What's some unpronouncable late-comer supposed to do for me that Yahoo, Google, and Ask can't already do?

i like how it displays results, when it actually does display them, other than that it isnt anything special. it will take alot more than what they are offering now to compete with google though, thats for sure.

That's really a major issue now. How are you really going to gain market share? They mention your concern below:

Ex-Google workers launch rival search engine - Jul. 28, 2008

Quote:
Google has become so synonymous with Internet search that it may no longer matter how good Cuil or any other challenger is, said Gartner Inc. analyst Allen Weiner.

"Search has become as much about branding as anything else," Weiner said. "I doubt [Cuil] will be keeping anyone at Google awake at night."
