CUIL - No self respsect

July 29, 2008 – 2:08 pm

I was reading a few articles about CUIL the “next great thing” in search engines.  As pointed out in this article by the Local SEO Guide, a lot of the searches you make with CUIL return some rather interesting results.

I think the most interesting is if you search for the term “CUIL” itself, try it here,  it doesn’t seem to know about itself.  At the time of this posting the results don’t show any results about the website.  It doesn’t seem to even know about itself.  However if you Google for CUIL, there it is CUIL.com.  I love irony.

I find all of this hype of CUIL interesting, especially for the local search market, because they claim that one of the benefits of CUIL is that it does not collect any private information, but to me that isn’t a positive thing (all the time) as it limits the ability of the site to personalize itself, the way, at theSUGGESTR.com do!
