So I gave Cuil the same test I give every search engine – and it failed miserably.

  1. A search for Gregory Silvano didn’t pull up anything special.  And if the first page doesn’t include my LinkedIn account, then sorry – it’s not a very good search engine.
  2. A search for Stature Software returned nothing worthwhile.  We’re not a hugely important site on the web, and that’s exactly the point.  Most sites aren’t hugely important on the web and that’s why I need the search engine.  If you search for Stature Software on Yahoo, Google, or MSN you’ll get our web site at least.
  3. It was slow.  Too slow.

 

I’m no Google lover by any stretch, but Google wins this fight.
