Google Competitor CUIL com arrived
A new Google Competitor CUIL.COM arrived
They officially announced their services at 28-July-2008. 28 July was first official day for new Search Engine like Google.com. They claim that they indexed pages more than Google but I don't think so that they indexed pages more than Google. I personally test that few web sites are not indexed by CUIL but are indexed by GOOGLE.
CUIL is pronounced as "cool". I think it is first time that some one will give hard time to Google. They are working like giants and look at their higher management.
