ditto for google :)
Re: Cuiler
#13After the obligatory vanity search yielded positive results (this rarely happens because I'm a nobody), I'm giving it a one week trial as my default search engine.
[Edit] It seems to be giving way better results than Bing. Nice to see that smart dudes in garages can still give megacorps a run for their money in their own backyards.
Re: Cuiler
#14The results are relevant, especially for 'sex'. Which is good. .. if you give right results for such an overcrowded space, you have to be good!

seems it has some appropriate "custom" suggestions for a few sites... Facebook and twitter also have appropriate one-liners.
Re: Cuiler
#16Wow. I searched for my startup and it immediately came up with a breakout box for " (Startup)" with additional links to our VC, a crunchbase profile, and more. That's actually better than Google in semantic relevance.
I agree this is pretty cool, but the more I search the more I feel that the results are targeted solely towards early adopters. Google is the behemoth that it is because normals mistake it for the very Internet itself. If duck duck go wants a shot at any significant share of the search market they'll have to be more welcoming of those same type of folks.

Agreed, very funny. http://duckduckgo.com/?v=c&q=hamburger That said, the cuil results look pretty good as well. http://www.cuil.com/search?q=hamburger The timeline is a nice idea, tho it does seem a little bit lacking in detail.
The reason hamburger shows a raccoon is that it is a reference to an in-joke among Redditors. The whole joke is explained if you search for "cuil".

Cuil looks pretty bad UI-wise. UI elements are presented in the same style as content text, which makes quick skimming difficult. A one-column layout turns into a two-column layout without any visible logical separation and no warning.
The no-warning column change also confuses the user the third column - which is consistent. I look at that page and my brain hurts.
Compare with Duck Duck Go, where UI elements are immediately obvious, and the text doesn't switch layout/flow on you half way down the page.
Also, DDG doesn't steal a bunch of pixels from your browser window permanently - not sure why this still exists in 2010.
