VistaCrew

Just stumbled upon TechCrunch and discovered this newly launched web search engine - Cuil. Cuil is a revolutionary search engine which claimed to be the biggest search engine on the planet where it is able to search more pages than Google, MSN Live Search and etc, having over 120 billion indexed pages … Interesting… However, I’d done a little experiment on it and found that it doesn’t really seem true… I typed “vista crew”, but doesn’t seem getting any results for this site you’re reading… Hey! “vista crew” in Google ranked 3rd! LOL! Typed “vista-crew” to re-test and guess what? Cuil didn’t found any results for this keyword! It’s on 1st place in Google man! Haha… Anyway, Cuil is just an infant coming out recently, thus improvements are imminent.

Personally, I think their layout design is quite cool. Search results are displayed in grid-like columns instead traditional rows. Detailed quotes of contents are visible and it includes images from searched sites also! if any… Cuil also has a unique feature where you can navigate through other different suggested keywords at the “Explore by category” widget beside. It also has a “Safe Search” feature where you can filter out pornography or “illegal” sites out. Typing suggestion is also available… Overall, it’s clean and stylish… but, more search result should be included in one page despite merely 8 to 10 results per page.

It could boast a threat to Google! Why? because the founders of Cuil are ex-Googlers… ha… and the backgrounds of these guys behind Cuil are really experts and professional guys… PhDs in Computer Science, Mathematics, AIs… Woah… A truly interesting and priomising startup to watch.

*UPDATES: Cuil is “HOT” now as there’s many people testing it! Thus, their server was overloaded! LOL! So if you encountered unavailability, be patient to wait for their service to go back online…
