Has anyone else played with www.cuil.com? (pronounced like cool)
Supposedly more pages indexed, better, etc. Doing a little vanity
searching, I searched
dan lester boise
and found lots of stuff....well, some....almost all of it from old
newsgroup postings from 93 and 94. Well, I guess that's a rich
source of fodder to build stuff up, but hardly exciting or
convincing.
searching for
barack obama
produced "We didn=92t find any results for =93barack obama=94"
but searching obama as a single word did.
For my entries there were a bunch of images, all completely
irrelevant and nothing that was on any of my pages, or places where I
was mentioned.
Obama's images were, for the most part, relevant.
Comments, thoughts, experiences?
