Well marketed definitely, but also thoroughly underwhelming! Tried it,
and got a whole host of irrelevant results to some search I can't even
recall now. Then I began to wonder: Why is search proving so hard for
everybody but Google?
Then I found this piece from the guys who like to "bite the hand
the feeds IT": http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/31/google_cuil_spammers_analysis/
-- some good arguments there... But it may only make sense if you
have grown up enough to no longer be fascinated by "Web 2.0" boxes
with rounded corners :)

Well, maybe or maybe not. i've been using the "other google" for
some time now (http://searchmash.com). It kind of doesn't make sense
ifcuil.com was part of google yet it isn't up to google standards.
searchmash.com on the other hand is google but for some reason isn't
marketed ....

which could serve google well if they where to look at it as an
opportunity, two search companies but under one umbrella and no one to
connect the dots, there could be so many business implications if an

like that was to be taken.
BUT then we wouldn't know what the big boys are up to, though the
truth
does come out eventually.
