cuil

Cuil didn't just ship; Cuil was launched Hollywood style with a tremendous amount of anticipation and buzz.

Less popular but highly relevant pages that come up in google are completely missing from cuil.

> I am sure Cuil would disagree with this That assumes that a later release of Cuil would have done any better.

US skips directly to the scale stage, even with a donkey like cuil.

Man, props to you guys and Cuil for trying, but this has got to be an incredibly difficult market to break into these days.

Yeah, Cuil can tell you how well that worked out.

I've given feedback to Cuil to change their results page.

I'm still awaiting the day Cuil does phrase queries.

Since it's low budget, it doesn't need to be a home run hit to be successful (like cuil), and it doesn't need to be better than Google at being Google (like Bing).

I know, most casual search users don't do quoted-phrase queries -- but Google and Bing do, and I occasionally use them, and Cuil has no chance of being my default search engine if it doesn't take the trouble to support them, too.

Cuil), it's pretty much been the same old "text box entry leading to a list of links" story, and invariably a flop.

I can't just tell my friends "hey, try out Cuil", I have to spend a few seconds explaining how to spell it.

"I also agree with this tweet from Dustin Curtis: ”I have never heard an entrepreneur say ‘I wish I had launched my product later.’”" I am sure Cuil would disagree with this, however their problem was more mass marketing too early and having too big of an audience for their effectively Alpha release.

Cuil is really cool, and wants to be different, but it's been hyped up too much for how much it improves.

Cuil's design is too slick to pass as a neighborhood book store.

Cuil had about 30 people, and eventually got a half-decent search engine.
