Not a lot of meat, but I vastly prefer this to the LOLCuil posts (which are hopefully over).

The most interesting thing about Cuil was that I got the feeling people WANTED it to succeed. Maybe we're getting bored with Google and ready for a shiny new toy? Looking for another David vs. Goliath story?

I think we're starting to dislike Google as a company. It doesn't seem like the youthful startup it once was. And so we're all looking for some new youthful point on the horizon.

I feel the same. I love their search engine, but as a company I don't like many of the things that they do. Not that I "dislike" G though.

It would be super nice to have some serious competition to Google.

It's actually working a lot better today. Egosearch didn't return me anything yesterday, today it returns me some results.

the frozen pane at the bottom, I almost didn't scroll ;)

It brought a fair few results I had never seen, and also my posts on here turned up as well.

Its also surprising to see how many posts were written and interest in its failings and downtime yet the response to an open honest explanation and reaction that they were approaching the search volumes of some of the big boys goes rather unoticed.

Still no search results for Cobol.
