New Search Engine cuil is Not Cool At All

Tech Tips Jason Mitchener 9 Comments »

There’s a new search engine on the block. cuil (pronounced “kewl”) was founded by former Google employees. Some are calling it a Google-killer. My thought … cuil is not cool at all.

I tried out the new search engine cuil today by trying a search for my name “Jason Mitchener.” While cuil did indeed show some of the web sites that are often associated with my name, it also did something that will have me never use their search engine again. cuil puts little pictures next to the search listings that supposedly are in context with the web pages listed. So what did cuil put next to the web pages associated with my name? The listing for my main site http://www.JasonMitchener.com features a photo of a flesh wound. Yes, you read that correctly … a flesh wound. The listing for my site’s shop (where I sell my book and music CD) features a photo of a plastic doll. The listing for the Soundclick site with my music features a photo of a clunky wheelchair. Yes, I’m disabled, but give me a break.

cuil just lost a potential user. And they will lose many more after Google indexes this blog post.
