    Default Cuil - Anyone even heard of them?

    Cuil made a big splash for a little while, but I'm curious if anyone even remembers them or uses them at all?

    They still have a problem getting a good image to relate with the results. They use the most random image for some of the sites, it's like they just pick at random..

    I remember hearing about them when they were launched. Never heard of them again.

    Well, you can see the alexa and other trends for Cuil.. they just got a huge spike because of their tall claims and they have more or less gone down now

    Same they are now nowhere. They started with huge fanfare and ultimately lost in oblivion within few days because of their own flaws.

    I personally like their search results and wish them well in their endeavors.

    In 2020, maybe we'll see Google's "Coke" to Cuil's "Pepsi" (they will buy Yahoo in the bankruptcy sale)

    Cuil has become a joke amongst the educated peoples of the internets (read: those who spend too much time here). Google "Cuil Theory"...

    One Cuil = One level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation.
    Example: You ask me for a Hamburger.
    1 Cuil: if you asked me for a hamburger, and I gave you a raccoon.
    2 Cuils: If you asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I don't really exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground.
    3 Cuils: You awake as a hamburger. You start screaming only to have special sauce fly from your lips. The world is in sepia.
    4 Cuils: Why are we speaking German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young cow. Your grandfather stares at you as the cow falls apart into patties. You look down only to see me with pickles for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe.

    etc...

    Ye.. we can only make jokes about Cuil.
    I do not think that it's real search engine, honestly.
