Hydrolix

So a colleague of mine sent me a link to Cuil, a new search engine start-up founded by former Google employees and backed with $33million of capital. It looks nice and promises a lot and it is early days having only launched on July 27th. However, curious to see if BootsnAll was ranked under ‘travel’ I found myself faced with this page (click on the image for a larger view):

Not so Cuil

Admittedly this is actually a bug. I found this by trying to click on page 7 of the results page. But it’s still pretty funny, I think. But I also found, on page 6, USA Today listed as a result for ‘travel’. Not the travel section, the home page of USA Today. Is that really the most relevant you can get? If so, this search engine won’t be around for long.
