Cuil and the search for the self

Posted by David Meyer

Reading about Cuil, the Google rival launched by ex-Googler Anna Patterson and her husband Tom Costello, I decided to start off my experiment with a search for my name. Call me egotistical.

The search results are very nicely laid out. However, the reference that actually pertained to me (an ICANN story I'd written) carried someone else's picture, while my picture was attached to a link for a David Meyer at, er, Central Oregon Community College. Most odd.

A quick vanity search didn't give me good results either. Rupert on the other hand seems to do pretty well.
A better example is searching for the mini-msft blog which gives pretty poor results.
