But Cuil, with there "scaling is our product" plan, weird name and "search-is-hard" image interface get mention here?
The industry pundits can be strange, unpredictable people.
Do you think a word 'corrupt' could also be used?
I think that the list we're discussing here is more of an example of Gross Incompetence. I think we can all agree we've seen examples of that. :)
Although it does seem weird. Cuil has always seemed to be far more of a flip company than Powerset ever was. It seems mighty difficult to sell a customer on "Our search is just like Google's, but we have fewer servers!" The Google name has way too much power for a geek-appeal like that to work.
Calling a flip company successful when it hasn't flipped at all seems weird to me.
