A new search engine called Cuil (pronounced 'cool') www.cuil.com has just launched and it is hoping to take on Google.
It indexes 122bn web pages - about three times the amount covered by Google.
It is interesting that it wants to focus on privacy and content over popularity. The layout looks a bit weird but that is probably because I'm so used to Google. Still it's pretty brave to try to take on Google. Cuil by the way is apparently from an old Irish word called knowledge. Does Cuil though have the famous luck of the Irish. It would be interesting to know people's first impressions...
