We are who we are. Reading this makes me long for an article that strips away the marketing hype and industry muscle. One about doing a better search. Lord knows google searches are severely flawed. Invoking a longing for the honest ones of the 90's. Cuil did give me some interesting results, in the first one or two in the list. The rest just rambled with little association. But I sensed they were trying things. Tweaking their internals and trying to offer something better. A tall task to be sure. I think they did fail. And in many ways. But they tried. I'd like to compare search strategies. Google seems more like the US government. Dictating rather that providing quality services. Bing seems much more relevant and pleasant. I can't believe I say those things about MS. Thanks for writing about Cuil. You may be hostile to a "contender" but at least you offered some insights and a post. One lost on the rest of the bloggers. RC too has picked up on the ‘hidden agenda’ in your tone. We are who we are.

Today I used Google to see if there was any news on the problem. I found your Jan article high on the list. It wasn't related to what I was looking for, but I read it out of curiosity anyway. Your interpretation of the graph made no sense. I see a decline after the curiosity spike at launch, a significant increase months later, perhaps due to marketing, then a decline that doesn't quite go below the startup level. You, on the other hand, see that - \... it has taken a huge dip since its launch and continues to decline.\ Although this doesn't match the graph, it fits well with the tone of your article, which could be summed up as 'David missed, got stomped,' which in turn fits with your status as a wannabe Google AdWords Qualified Professional and Yahoo! Ambassador. I suggest a small change in your career path. You've got a nice, punch-in-the-eye flavor to your writing, and you apparently like to start with your conclusions, or the conclusions of those you feel beholden to, even when interpreting snippets of empirical data. I suggest that punditry is the place for you. You're better looking than most of them, and certainly younger. You could quickly carve yourself a niche there. Cuil quit loading the other day.
