There's a new search engine on the block...
Unlike other new search engine, this "new kid on the block" was developed by some of the people who helped to develop Google!
They left the fold... And now are competing with the Google giant!
The new search engine is Cuil ... http://www.cuil.com
"Cuil" is pronounced like "Cool". I tried it out - it looks promising!
It has a totally different look than Google - results include longer pieces of texts, usually have a picture, and are arranged in columns...
The search engine algorithm is completely different too. That's just a fancy way of saying that the results you get when you do a search are completely different from what you get with Google...!
Cuil also boasts the largest database of any search engine (including Google) - with 120 billiion web pages!
I must say, I've been a bit "dissatisfied" with Google in recent years... I feel their results are less relevant than they used to be. And sometimes useful pages just drop out of Google, for apparently no reason... I don't know if Cuil will be better, but I think more competition is a good thing!
Check it out!
Also, here's an article about it (which is where I read of it)...

Let the battle begin! :)
