Cuil, which can be found on http://www.cuil.com, claims to be a refreshing wind in the land of search engines… A new way of searching, which should be more easy for users, because search listings are automatically categorized.
This all sounds very good, so we thought we’d give it a try… The Cuil-website looks very modern, and seems to be a little inspired by the Google page. The makers of Google always have chosen for a Spartan look for the landing page, trying to set as few links and words as possible on it. (Some weeks ago there was lot to do in the press about Google not willing to place an extra link on the landing page).
Cuil has about the same philosophy about that; displaying as less words and links as possible, the homepage is a black background with a logo and about 3 links. (of which the about-pages was actually not a link, because it didn’t work and showed us a 404-page).
But never mind, a search engine is meant to search, not to tell a fully illustrated history about itself. So we gave the search function a try…
