[Publib] Cuil search engine

[Mark Arend]

Interesting.  I did the same and found my picture but it was connected
to a linkedin profile for  someone at Microsoft.  Had to go 4 pages into
the search results to get anything even related to me.  At least it's
our library system site but there's no mention of me on that page.

 

I think they've got a few bugs to work out.

Subject: [Publib] Cuil search engine

 

Has anyone checked out this new search engine at cuil.com?  I had a
really strange experience with it.  After playing around with it I
googled myself.  (Surely that term still works for other search
engines.) Usually when I do that I get links to things related to my
current job or my previous job, much of it due to things like board
meeting minutes online and newspaper articles.

 

The first several pages displayed in my search were my various postings
to lists like this one, all the way back to a post to featherweight
fanatics in 1995.  Most of them were postings to publib and inpublib,
and many were accompanied by a photo of a woman I have never seen before
in my life.  In fact one of two women I don't know.

 

So if you search for me on Cuil, don't think that is me you are seeing.
Very weird.  L
