Just like a general message board. Ha, I was gonna ask you before about what you thought about being on a reality show (even it's not really a reality show like canadian idol)... but that's off topic again so... hmm... @dave

For new software to take off, like any new product, it has to be filling a need. To me this cuil thing isn't even addressing a need aside from some more controlled privacy and more graphic intense layout that takes a lot longer to load and click through on slower browsers (like this non-3G "classic" iPhone I'm on right now) How about this for a need: give me a search engine that gives me more control over sorting my results - more than just filtering. Sites like Flickr and YouTube have it - the ability to sort by most recent, most popular or most relevnt. How about the option to search through blogs or news sources only... but all from one, central grandaddy of all search engines hub... There are plenty needs left to be filled, and too many useless applications out there on the web. If I'm going to venture away from a tried and tested something like Google, I need to see a significant and well thought through difference. I totally agree, David.

In these Google-domination times it's hard to re-invent a wheel and compete. I like Google, it has come into use, but I should work as a filter everytime, it isn't convenient. The Cuil group make attempt to introduce some features: the safety of content and privacy are among them. And they started with the 'long tail' principle. What about names, "Google" and "Cuil" sound equally strange to me. No pros or cons, just a view. Does this engine really so bad?
