Search Engine Cuil is “Cool” but Useless
no comments
Pronounced “cool,” the new search engine at cuil.com created by former Google employees claims to have three times the amount of sites indexed as Google, ten times as that of Microsoft.
Led by Anna Paterson and Tom Costello, Cuil’s secret lies in the formula used to index sites, an innovation that has allowed the company to index so many sites while spending only $7 million and using 140 servers. (In comparison, Yahoo!’s search engine cost $300 million.)
