  1. I saw this earlier today, and tried it out. I wasn't too impressed, and thee results page was a bit confusing. When I searched for my full name in quotation marks, it said I had 24 results but would only give me links to two of them.

    By the way, Google gives me all 24 of them.

    Also, they are all work safe and most are professionally related, in case anyone was hoping to dig up some dirt.

  2. Your impressions are in good company. I was equally unimpressed. Here's what one blogger had to say about it:
    Not so Cuil After All.

  3. BBC News takes another rip on Cuil, with some coverage of other opinions. About the only good thing I've heard about Cuil is that it returns scientific and scholarly content higher than the other search engines.
