Google v Cuil round two   

Bloggers have noticed that Google is running stories saying how disappointing Cuil is.

Is it just a coincidence these stories are appearing on Google's search results? Conspiracy theorists could have a field day. Can the mighty Google really be worried about this new search rival? Take a look at the post below. What's really going on I wonder?

All will soon be well.

Their new head of PR will soon be joining: Peter Barron, BBC Newsnight Editor.

Come on Justin, you don't buy this do you? Google's technology always puts news results relating to your search term at the top where there's been a lot of coverage. And all the coverage on Cuil has said how disappointing it is. Was Google supposed to change its algorithm so it didn't seem mean?

Philip, I appreciate what you are saying. Still it was interesting to see what some experienced bloggers were saying. I know some people have been disappointed with Cuil. But, hey, let's give the underdog a chance! I agree though it is a daunting task taking on Google. Just ask Microsoft!

Indeed. But, there's that growing sense that Google must be a right git, because it's so successful.

That Chris Brogan fellow though was put in his place by Matt Cutts of all people so he's had his comeuppance!
