A new search engine is debuting today. Not major news, that happens all the time, but this time it has several ex-Google employees, talented senior level people. The new search engine is at cuil.com (pronounced cool). I'm a big Google fan, but I love competition. Especially in my industry I like to see other options for advertisers and searchers. Google has managed to develop a monopoly, but because of the way they've done it have drawn little ire from the general public.
We'll see how Cuil performs. Right now they are getting slammed by so much traffic and their site is extremely slow. Based on the few searches I did it seems to deliver up some pretty accurate results. The images they pull from sites to display with the search results seem to be pretty random. I've got my fingers crossed that they really catch on.

I like their layout a lot more. It is nice that they give you formatting options. I too, hope that it catches on.
