Some ex google people started it, right?

I checked it out last month, but it won't supplant google, for now at least. Did like the layout of the returned results page.

I tried to look up something and they couldn't find it though. There were too many words in the name (a school I used to teach at). I haven't tried a one-word search yet, though.

Yeah, but you have to admit, the site looked good when it failed. 😛

It doesnt roll off the tongue well enough to be a really world class website - it is a scientific fact that a site that is easy to pronounce will always excel.

It's pronounced "cool", not a word the average man would have any difficulty with.

Google is almost an accepted verb in the English language nowadays, I can't see anyone taking the baton from them any time soon.

I cuil'd your username but found nothing.

Nah, it doesn't have the cool ring of 'googled'.

"Google" sounds geeky. "Cuil" sounds aristocratic and European, like "grande". It could happen.

You know what my problem with cuil is? That, as a Spanish speaker, it is very easy to use it in a double sense.

Like: "Go take it in the cuil, man!"

I think it has a cuil ring to it.
