Is Cuil cool?

Does the Internet  need another search engine?

The folks at Cuil.com think so, and they boast the biggest and best engine on the planet. With more than 120-billion Web pages indexed already (3x more than Google), they claim to deliver results based on relevant content, not popularity.

Give it a spin and let me know what you think.

BTW, the strange name comes from an old Irish term meaning "knowledge." Time will tell if that knowledge leads to adding Cuil to the lexicon of popular search engines. Somehow, I don't see the day when people will say "Just Cuil it."
