Cuil is very Cool

Here is a twist to the Google oligopoly (that’s meant in a friendly way Google!). Cuil is a new search engine that claims to have indexed three times the amount of websites as Google. They not only display their results but they also cascade additional pages of information for you. I won’t say its mean to replace your search method but its another way of getting information to you. When I look at it, the results to me look almost as if it’s a Google+Wikipedia combination but why don’t you test it for yourself and see what you think.
For my very first search I typed in laptop and received 333,722,307 results. When I typed laptop on Google, I received 274,000,000 results. Hmnnnnn…. -interesting. For the moment I am not seeing any advertisements in any of the pages. But its going to be interesting to see when they launch their own version of AdWords or something similar as MSN AdCenter and Yahoo Paid Search has done. I really think they have a shot at the market because I think many of us have become accustomed to seeing the same Google results layout. These guys put a different feel on the page and a lot of people seem to like it.
I especially like how they say "Search 121,617,892,992 web pages." Remember when Google started? Now these guys come along and trump the amount of pages that Google carries. That’s incredible in itself not to mention that yes, they do say billions, as in number of pages indexed. 121.6+ B.
