Dr. Peter Jacso Reviews the New Web Engine Cuil
In his latest review for Gale.com, Dr. Jacso reviews the new web engine Cuil. From the review:
“Much ado about nothing” is the best way to describe the pathetic debut of the new search engine that claims to be three times as large as Google and implies it is much smarter than any other search engine because it ranks pages based on their content and relevance, rather than on “superficial popularity metrics”. Even more than a week after the launch, its results are puny compared to Google (and Yahoo) and widely irreproducible. Cuil’s software capabilities and the results produced could make good jokes for the Late Night Show. Much more modesty, much less Silicon Valley bubble talk and substantial testing prior to the launch could have spared this fiasco for the company, and the wasted time for the millions who tried the service.
