Not very impressed with Cuil.com and the seemingly random association of photos to results. Very confusing
Yup, I agree with you. - Kevin Lau
totally agree. why do they do that? - Veronica
This picture thing treads incredibly dangerously. Think of the potential misappropriation claims when someone's photo is randomly associated with an article about, say, a person with a similar name committing a violent crime. Cuil needs to stop the practice. I found my LinkedIn profile with a completely random picture of a person who was nowhere near the profile. Not cool. - Jared Smith
I actually emailed and complained. I searched my company, the number one spot was associated to some blog with my logo on it.. no idea why, not my site nor was there any link to my site. We were like the 9th one down. - Socom
yeah, Socom, my own website isn't even on the first page of my results! very odd. - Veronica
agreed it does not work well. also I misspell everything and i t can't figure that out like Google. - Ted
I just don't understand why the took my logo and associated it to that other site. Guess the real test will be if they blow off my email, or fix it. Let alone move us to the top when were searching the exact name of the url :) lol - Socom
Someone else's picture shows up on a link to one of my profiles, it was a little unexpected. - Karnatos
I am not sure what the purpose of the site is. Relational search results? - John Denver
update on it, a buddy of mine is one of the sysadmins at ittoolbox, so we did his.. shows up perfect.. just like you would want it to. each A Record is listed and everything. - Socom
After 8 or so billion pages, indexing more just indexes spam. Most of the "hidden web" is spam in any case. This is why google is so good. - Wilma Stoneflint
I did a little writeup of it http://www.veronicabelmont.com/2008... - Veronica
apparently I am post happy today :) - Socom
Yep, agree. I'm not sure I understand completely how to word search phrases though. Will have to play with it a little more before I pass final judgment. - Jeff P. Henderson
Thanks for the link Veronica. - Jim Goldstein
Who would have thought a search result image randomizer wouldn't be popular LOL. - Jim Goldstein
