Ex Google Workers Unveil New Search Method, Cuil

[gippy]

Mountain View, CA (AHN) - A group of former Google engineers Monday unveiled a new search engine they hope will challenge the Internet giant's supremacy. Cuil, (pronounced "cool"), takes a different tack than previous threats to Google.

Instead of concentrating on links to Web pages, Cuil focuses on a Web page's actual content. The venture-financed search engine also presents the data in a different manner - a horizontal layout that includes images rather than Google's low-key plain text displayed vertical.

I heard about this a while back but I never looked into it. It looks like it might be interesting. The search interface is different which takes a while to get used to and the search results are a bit different. It might be the next big search engine.
