TheBlogThatMustNotBeNamed.com does not like Cuil, the new search engine developed by ex-Google employees. He, like so many others, was all set to embrace a viable alternative to Google.
My point in telling you all this is that I really
wanted to love Cuil – I would LOVE for Google’s demise to be made
hyper-imminent by a bunch of whiny ex-employees disgruntled because
Sergey stopped givin’ em free daycare. No dice – Cuil sucks the sweat off a dead man’s balls and is set to become iconic of failure like the twenty-first century boo.com.
Everyone wanted to like it. And a boatload of venture capitalists invest in it. The problem is this: it’s pretty bad. The Blog Must Not Be Named addresses a lot of the problems. But one thing really ticked him off:
5) The ultimate crime: Cuil can’t find blognigger, even when you search for it directly.
This is emblematic of the whole problem – when you search for
something, Cuil returns wacky shit based on searching MORE webpages,
instead of looking for what real people want. They couldn’t take my
search term, add ".com" to it and send it back? FAILS!
Try Hakia.com. Discovered it a few weeks ago at a blogging conference. Loving it! And BTW, blognigger came back as the first result when searching for blognigger.
