So word's been going around all day about the new search engine Cuil, which was founded by some of the original members of Google. The site's main page claims it's indexed over 120 Billion sites, which sounds expansive. They claim it's the world's biggest. Sounds pretty sweet, right? So I tried it, and was greeted with this lovely error message:
Now, the site is new, and is getting a lot of hype right now so I'm sure there are tons of people trying it out, but you'd think that a company trying to make an impression in the search engine market would try to do a liitle better. People browsing around online are sure to come across it, hop over to the site and try it out. If their search returns interesting results, they're likely to come back and try it again. If they get an error message like this, odds are good that they'll go right on using Google or Yahoo or whatever and give nary a second thought to to Cuil. So here's hoping they get things straightened out, and at some point maybe I'll remember to go back and try it again. But I doubt it.
