i'd also like to note that search engine algorithms change and the odds of a startup getting it right, getting it better than the big 3 fresh out of the gate are slim to none. there are quite a lot of "CUIL FAILS FOREVER" type of posts around the net. a startup doesn't have to be a smash success the day after launching, and a new startup probably isn't going to be quite as refined as the gigantic companies its competing against. the tech media generally seems to be passing immediate judgment and dismissing it outright already. i know i'd hate it if that happened to one of my projects. i'll revisit cuil in a few months to see whats up and then pass a more solid judgment. until then, google's still my search.
