Cuil, pronounced as “cool” is the new search engine to help you search the internet. The domination of Google in the Internet search is towering. The next best on the list is yahoo, but it is nowhere near Google in terms of market share. There are few others like Microsoft Live search, Ask etc. Cuil launched by few former Google employees intend to position it as an alternative to Google search engine. Amazingly, the very first day Cuil server crashed due to overwhelming response. There are many flaws starting from poor search results to under rated interface. Citicism has been piling by heaps and bounds. Though, Cuil had pointed only two major issues hindering the search engine as of now.

Cuil claims to have the largest index of websites with 120 billion pages – in the world. But it is no where near google. Cuil has to do a lot of catching. I know Cuil is new and a comparision with well Google may not be fair. However, market and business dynamics will not see what is fair, it will just see which is better. If Cuil can improve quickly, it will have a chance to stand or just fade away.
