Umm - I read that Google recently passed the 1 trillion web pages mark...

But Cuil.com is really cool. A lot better interface than Google.

It seems better than Google for very popular keywords like "marketing". But I think it has a bit of catching up to do (relevancy wise) for long tail keywords.

And also - it seems like they count every web page as its own entity. Search for "sowpub" and you'll see that 9 out of 10 search results are from sowpub.com on cuil - but only 2 out of 10 are from sowpub.com on Google.

I think Google is better by not showing a lot of web pages from the same domain. Because people can always search for pages on a particular domain if they want to.
