Cuil = Worst Search Engine Ever

In what can only be described as some of the most boring yet higly profitble news, there's a new search engine out there. For the not at all fascinating story of how a software engineer somehow raised over $30 million in venture capital (I guess the dot com bubble isn't quite over), click here.

Here's the lowdown - Anna Patterson used to work for Google and AltaVista before that. She is apparently a genius at writing search engine software, and claims that her new search engine, Cuil, scours 8 times more websites than Google.

Being somewhat confused at the notion that Google does not search the entire Internet, I decided to do a little test. I typed the exact same thing into both search engines - dink and flika. Google returned your favorite blog at the top of the list. Cuil said that there is nothing on the entire world wide web with those words.

Cuil sucks.

Game Break.

Whenever I use Google images to search for a particular kind of picture I usually get some pictures associated with the keyword, but then I will get one or two that have nothing to do with what I am searching for.

This link takes that dilemna and turns it into a game. A pretty addictive game at that. Basically you will be given a page and on the page there will be 20 pictures from an image search and your job is to guess the keyword that was used. There are 10 stages and you have 20 seconds to guess the correct answer for each stage. Have fun playing. Google Game.
