A group of ex-Google engineers launched a rival Internet search engine named Cuil, saying it is an improved version of the world’s most popular Web-scouring tool.
Cuil’s founders include former “Googlers” Anna Patterson, Russell Power and Louis Monier. Patterson and Power worked on Google’s “TeraGoogle” search index and Monier specialized in search engine design. They are taking unabashed aim at their one-time workplace, claiming they out search Google when it comes to depth and breadth on the rapidly expanding Internet.
Cuil says that unlike Google, which reportedly ignores seldom visited or obscure websites in its index, Cuil doesn’t discriminate and has packed 120 billion Internet pages in its index. Google software engineers Jesse Alpert and Nissan Hajaj said the company scans more than a trillion web pages and indexes those it believes will be useful to searchers.
Google dominates online search with more than 60 percent of the market and is so popular the company’s name has become a verb. Analysts believe Google has become so entrenched in culture it will be hard to unseat. I personally believe that it will be tough competition.
So…. Just wait and see!!
