I don't understand the reason for the viciousness in mocking Cuil. Sure, their search engine is bad but creating a search engine from scratch is hard. If your startup failed would you want the entire Net to be constantly mocking you?
- kwamenum86 18y agoThey put themselves out there. Use goes hand in hand with evaluation, and if people use your web app and think it sucks they will let you know. I think it may also be that the Cuil founders have stated that they think their search engine is better than Google's. When you ask to be measured next to a titan and come up far short your are begging to be mocked.
- SingAlong 18y agoI agree with both you and kwamenum86. Nobody would want to be mocked at when their startup fails. But the Cuil guys should have launched it without commenting anything about their search engine's performance against google. It this wasn't done, the feedback would have been a lot more nicer. (like "you've got to improve" instead of a quick BOSS mashup like Yuil)
