PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
A New Search Engine | Cuil
I've been trying out Cuil for my research (instead of Google and Ask) and I've been really impressed. I like the visual display and the relevancy of results. Cuil searches don't seem to produce as much junk as my google searches - and unlike Google they don't track searches or clickthroughs.
"Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft. Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance"
