Email is Alive

How is Cuil doing?

I blogged about this David and Goliath story a few weeks ago. The brave new search engine up against the beast that is search.

How'd they do?

Well, so far...not very well. At the initial inception of www.Cuil.com the buzz was loud and proud. So loud, Cuil recieved 1.5 million visits in it's first month. With a channel of that many people this had to be good, I thought there might be a chance. I was wrong.

Since then Cuil has dropped 70% of it's traffic every month. Cuil is 180k visits strong every month from the same people. Sad day for the underdog.
