With over 30 million dollars in the pockets of the ex-employees of Google and IBM, the founders of Cuill are going into battle with Google! So there might be a life after Google! ![]()
Anyway, I just heard about this today and I found it interesting and a Google
search gave me the next results:
Cuill is a stealth search engine startup which claims that it can index web pages significantly faster and cheaper than Google. Cuill has told potential investors that their indexing costs will be 1/10th of Google’s, based on new search architectures and relevance methods.
Another rumour circulating is that Google already took a shot at acquiring the company with a very healthy offer, showing that they take this potential threat seriously. And the company may have enticed at least one other senior search scientist from Google to join them recently.
The fact that Google has interest in Cuill can mean that Google might feel a bit hostile and sees Cuill as a threat!
Anyway, I’m very curious about this new search engine which says that it can compete with Google, but let’s wait and see before we speculate!
