Cuil May Sound Cool But Did Not Kill Google This Year

Touted as a possible Google killer when it launched July this year, Cuil has had a disappointing start.

Traffic numbers reflect the company's lack of stickiness following its launch. TechCrunch sees it as flat lining.

Interesting that Business Week has it amongst its most promising start ups of 2008.

Kevin Ryan gave us a thorough examination of the problems with Cuil and DaniWeb did an interesting analysis of their search results in comparison to Google.

No One Can Beat Google.Google offers searchwiki this year and you can delete and promote your results.
I saw a Powerpoint search engine called slideworld.It has lots of potential.Slideworld.org is for medical professionals and slideworld.com is for every one.You can reshuffle your results by no of downloads Posted Date, Author name ,rated.Hope you find them best for powerpoint slides.

As of today 1-21-09 I find cuil a superior search engine than google. Google is only concentrating
in publishing websites of paying advertisers.
