Cuil.com is here, is there room for an improved Google?

Cuil.com just came out from ex-Google employees to improve the job to index the Internet.

So many more before them, have tried to become The Search engine and take away the customers from Google.

Looks like they are indexing more pages than Google does, however my second try I received this error:

The first great feature from Google is they are always up. Will cuil.com accomplish that?

Review

Upon using it for one day I found Cuil very slow to display the results. As well the results are being shown in a datagrid instead of a list. The most scary part is that there are actually errors on the result, searching for my name, even egocentric is a good way to check results. A simple search found a blog post with this picture that is not in my blog post:

Should Cuil add the beta sticker on top of their website?. Just changing my preference got me to see another exception:

In my modest opinion, cuil.com may not be the search engine that replaces Google. We shall wait for the next one I guess.

Cheers

Yogesh,

thanks so much for finding the typo. Of course I would give them some time, however if they keep going down at each search time won't be their problem ;-)

Thanks so much for the comment.
