Cuil Jumps On The Real-Time Search Bandwagon
Aug 24, 2009 at 2:05pm ET by Matt McGee
Make some space on the real-time search bandwagon for Cuil, which has just added real-time listings to its search results page.
As Mashable points out, Cuil seems to be following OneRiot's lead in that its real-time results are more about the links people are sharing online rather than the actual tweets and conversations.
The interface is nice with the ability to scroll horizontally through several results, but there's no indication where the results are coming from (is this just a Twitter crawl/API pull?) and nothing to explain what the "Hotness" bar is and how it relates to other r [...]

Cuil Maplines: A Good Idea That Needs Work

What's a Mapline. Here's Cuil's explanation: "Just as our Timelines show a concept across time, our Maplines show a concept across a map."
It's an interesting idea, but seems to be poorly executed. The Mapline on a search for John Legend, for example, shows a random assortment of places that the singer has performed in the past -- certainly not a complete list. The Mapline on a search for Seattle Mariners include [...]

The Cuil Blog announced that for some queries, they will show a timeline box on the right column. For searches such as Abraham Lincoln, Alan Turing, Michael Jordan, Great Depression, Madison Square Garden and others, you may get a timeline.
Let me show you how it works on the Great Depression search. At the top right, you see a timeline box, mousing over one of the lines, will open up some more detail:
You can also enlarge the box:
This feature can come in handy for many types of queries. [...]

Cuil Announces New Layout, Other Updates
Mar 3, 2009 at 4:19pm ET by Matt McGee
Cuil, the search engine that launched to great hype last year and seems to have disappeared since then, announced changes to its design, content, and backend today.
When Cuil launched last summer, the site's design was one of its primary distinguishing features -- it used a three-column layout that gave equal weight to a variety of results. After the new changes, there are still three columns, but the primary results take up two columns at the top of the page:
It's still a unique design where search engines are concerned, but to be frank, it looks almost like a news/magazine-style bl [...]

How Cuil Is The SEO Industry?
Jul 30, 2008 at 10:36am ET by Barry Schwartz
Philipp Lenssen's The World According to Cuil blog post inspired me to take snapshots of how Cuil, the new search engine, matches up the names of our industry to pictures.
Here's Danny Sullivan's Wikipedia article, but showing a picture of Danny Sullivan the race car driver:
This is my, Barry Schwartz's, search blog, but this is a picture of the psychologist:
A search for Greg Sterling (yes, an editor here), shows a picture of Chris Sherman (an editor here):
Vanessa Fox, the avatar?
Okay, now for some funny ones.
