Will Cuil’s New Streaming Feature Put It Back on the Map?
- theli0nheart 17y agoI think Cuil would do much better for itself if it focused on its search algorithm.
- scrame 17y agoWill Cuil’s New Streaming Feature Put It Back on the Map? probably not. FTA: The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company received $33 million in funding from Madrone Capital Partners, Tugboat Ventures and Greylock Partners last year and has a valuation of $200 million. How? Who is going to pay 200M for a fifth-rate search engine that showed it was better at self-promotion than technology. In fact, the only thing i remember about cuil from last year was this register article (nsfw): http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/29/cuil_launch/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/29/cuil_launch/ Where the revolutionary algorithm that put unrelated photos next to text search results managed to match up a CS Ph.D with gay porn. I would also suggest they change their name to something less cuil-sounding.
