I've been on SU for a long time, and used it in many ways. I just spent hours cleaning up my profile, and following advice from Tinu. For the first time, I really "Get" SU. I'm learning from the best. Thanks Tinu - Warren Whitlock

Cuil is live. Here is the search for FriendFeed. - Louis Gray via Bookmarklet

looks cool in first few searches. Not sure it really is going to get anyone to switch, though. I do like social searches on it, though. - Robert Scoble

Show 41 more comments

Robert makes a good point. So the question is, how can anyone get people to make the switch from google? What does Cuil need to do better than Google? - Hao Chen

The aligned pictures are bizarre as well. My vanity search brings up pictures that are totally random. http://www.cuil.com/search?q=L... - Louis Gray

Awesome! Thanks Louis... - Mitchell Tsai

FF search?? I'm not seeing FF, am seeing other things though. Half decent results - Duncan Riley

Interesting results. I think there needs to be a hybrid. For certain terms there needs to be search results based on popularity. Other terms might need to be indexed by relationships and content like Cuil does. - Akshay Dodeja

Do I dare ask if Cuil is related to Cuill? And is it pronounced KEWL too? Or Quill? Or Potato? Internets is hard. - Eric Rice

Eric: I believe it is pronounced "COOL" - Justin Korn

I searched my own name, and it's Top 10 selection is very different from most search engines. Might be useful for background research for business meetings. I'm going to try some other people's names... - Mitchell Tsai

Eric - The changed their name I believe. - Akshay Dodeja

The pictures are weird on a lot of searches - like they threw some kind of randomizer at it. They seem quite unrelated to the search result in most cases. - Todd McKinney

http://friendfeed.com/cuill has a FriendFeed account - Mitchell Tsai

Total fail from my perspective. It found all kinds of weird things but not my primary presence. - Chris Brogan

Oh no no. Do not display a picture of kidnapped 7 year old next to my LinkedIn profile please. http://www.cuil.com/search?q=e... Also who is that guy next to the friendfeed entry for me? - Erica Baker

@Erica - now that's spooky. - Chris Brogan

Heh. Despite crawling my site at least once a day for the past month, it does not appear here: http://www.cuil.com/search?q=e... - Erica Baker

Did OK with my vanity search. Nothing weird there (at least the first 5 pages of results). - Hutch Carpenter

LOL at the image thumbnail on my LinkedIn profile on Cuil http://www.flickr.com/photos/2... Not even sure what that is...looks bad ass though. - Hao Chen

Erica: Ouch! My search http://www.cuil.com/search?q=m... has 70% links from 1992-99. The picture/description matching is BAD. It has links to text for an old Apple ][e I might donate to Stanford, but the picture is someone ELSE's Apple ][+. And Global Crossing (WTF?) is #1 on my page. No FB/LI/FF page. In it's present state, it might be a curiosity tool. It's MESSED up! - Mitchell Tsai

I got you all beat. The guy next to my linkedin profile looks familiar. (http://www.cuil.com/search?q=d...) - DeWitt Clinton

I think Cuil and Viewzi should get together and they'd have something. - Jesse Stay

Seems to be tuned for university professors. Works well for the profs. Works well on some well-known friends (e.g. 100,000+ google pages). Seems to be bad for us less-popular people. - Mitchell Tsai

Note to self: when launching a search engine, work extra hard on blogger vanity results. - Todd McKinney

nothing new here.. move along. Looks cool, but no news. I get more out of Summize (sorry, I like that name better) - Warren Whitlock

What makes that LinkedIn thing all the more baffling is that I have a LinkedIn profile photo. Why would anything but the photo on my profile page appear on that search result? - Erica Baker

Todd - good one. - Hutch Carpenter

LOL @DeWitt. That is epic. You have big shoes to fill! - Hao Chen

@Todd - hahaha, and yet, not untrue, right? I mean, what's the first thing ANYONE would do with a search engine? Search for something they know is there, right? - Chris Brogan

@Mitchell Maybe it's because Tom Costello is a Stanford professor. - Hao Chen

@Chris Yep, it should work. Just funny to me because I'm sure it didn't get a lot of focus, but seems reasonably important in retrospect. First impressions and all. - Todd McKinney

No one's mentioned the categories that come up, which are even funnier than the pictures. (In my case, it's 1908 births and Hindi films.) Intentionally or not, Cuil is a VERY funny site. - Ontario Emperor

I don't know who that guy is that comes up inline when I search my name, my books, or my podcast, but he is much better looking than me. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Heh, think some of you are falling into thinking this is a google clone, therefore should produce googlesque results. It's a different type of search, so expect differing results, different relevance. - Mo Kargas

Google is larger about X 10 and more relevant - Igor Poltavskiy

Most 3 letter phrases are returning no results for me... - Bindu Reddy

Way too early to =FAIL but more testing really isn't good ... really. - Charlie Anzman

Now is down. - Dario Salvelli

"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." - Mitchell Tsai

You get "Sorry, an error occurred" if you search for "e3". - Peter

Cuil come back online. Also Techcrunch talk about it: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Dario Salvelli

Well, there are 4 or 5 Dr Sally Church's and my FF came up on the top middle of the first page plus some medical articles I wrote. The stuff is easier on the eye to scan than Google, so I like the UI. - Sally Church

Awful for searching for people or less known terms, but it does have some neat tricks. Let's give it some time to grow. - Alja Sulcic

My new moopz.com site is just over 2 weeks old. and a search for [moopz] brings up nothing related, no pages from the site, no pages on FF, no blog entries about it, nothing. Doesn't seem like a very fresh index... - Mark Carey via Moopz

It found 1 link to a jaiku post. Google returned 4 hits on the first page. - Kevin

I'm lovin' this thread. This is what FF is all about (or at least part of it) - Charlie Anzman

“@r Reading happens only on paper. So if you read it online, you weren't reading. If you read it on paper, it made you smarter.”

You mean because online the identical article is read more passively? Have you ever read How To Read a Book by Mortimer Adler? - Daled Amos

This is a joke of some kind? Surely? - Sean McBride

all the studies I've seen say you can read faster and get more retention with paper due to the better resolution and our habits. We're about 2 years away from having the problem licked on resolution, but now have decades of more "skimming" on screen - Warren Whitlock

As a heavy consumer of paper books and ebooks, I don't find this to be the case in my experience. - Sean McBride

I would disagree as well, but I do know that recent studies that say we are all reading less rely on this kind of reasoning. I recently read a book on my iPhone and retained the information in that novel just as well as if I had read the paper version that I own. It was more convenient to lug around the iPhone than the paperback. - Rob McNair-Huff

The issue is not necessarily one of retention. In Adler's book he writes about gaining understanding from a book that is independent of the content per se--if the book is at your level, all you do is add to your store of information. That is why he pushes The Great Books of Western Civilization--struggling with the level of the writing is what raises your actual understanding of the book. (continue...) - Daled Amos

(...continued) Applying that here, no matter how difficult it is to read a book deeply, it is more difficult off a monitor. You get the information--and even the retention, but how deeply and analytically did you read it off the screen. We tend to read off a screen more leisurely. That may change with time, but I think that holds true for now. - Daled Amos

Daled -- I read ebooks on handheld devices with high-resolution screens, never from a traditional computer monitor. Often I find the experience to be superior to reading traditional paper books, especially in terms of overall processing, searching, note-taking, retention, etc. I find that the smaller window on the text actually improves my concentration and attention to textual detail. - Sean McBride

There will always be people who prefer the tactile experience of print material to electronic doppelgangers. I have not found the quality of my information consumption, or habits, to differ based on the medium. I would much rather have my entire library available electronically than continue to move tons of books each time I relocate. - Sally Robinson

The love affair with paper will disappear quickly enough. There is nothing sacred about paper as a medium for conveying text. It is merely a convention, dictated by the technology of the time. We got over tablets. We'll get over paper. - Sean McBride

By the way, has anyone ever seen Jeff Jarvis engage in dialogue over his posts on Friendfeed? - Sean McBride

The automobile will never replace the horse. There is a special look, feel and smell about the horse which the automobile can't replicate. - Sean McBride

Generally I find James Fallows to be well ahead of the curve on technology and politics: Newest Kindle and public domain fan: The Atlantic’s James Fallows http://tinyurl.com/5rp5qz - Sean McBride
