[Publib] Re: Cuil search engine

[Tom Cooper]

When I search my name on cuil.com (along with certain limiters, since
there are ten million Tom Coopers out there), I get relevant hits, but
with photographs of various munitions attached: jet fighters, tanks,
atomic missiles. I don't know if this is a part of my past that has been
de-programmed out of my consciousness in the interest of national
security concerns, but I am beginning to worry.

Do not judge beliefs by their plausibility, but by the harm they may do.

Has anyone checked out this new search engine at cuil.com?  


I'm getting a lot of redundant posts, and a lot of dead links, spammers
and domain squatters.

So I'd say cuil is a lot cheesier than Google. But for sure, in two days
this post will be showing up in the results for me. That, and I need to
add a few domains to block on my home page.
