Cuil search engine & Gixen

[mario]

From time to time I check Gixen's position on search engines. After a lot of problems in the past, now I am quite happy with how Google treats Gixen, and this is evident in number of new users trying Gixen daily.

In the past, I used to check other search engines as well, but, for no apparent reason I stopped doing this, feeling that they are becoming less and less relevant, and that good position on Google search results is all one needs for his site to be successful. If you are doing fine on Google, you don't need other search engines. If you are not, no other search engine is going to help you much. That's just how it is these days.

Then I stumbled upon a CNN article that confirms this.

Only after reading it, I remembered CUIL, a search engine that looked very promising a while ago when I looked at it. So, to test it out, I made couple of relevant searches that should return Gixen in its result set. And - Gixen is not there at all. But hey, there is something... Take a look at this and this screenshot to have a good laugh.

Mario, you're sponsoring both JustSnipe and HidBid, your competitors? How successful have you gotten?

LOL...that is funny. It's no wonder CUIL still isn't being used by many. The hype when it launched is laughable now.
