Cuil: A rival search engine for Google by its former employees.
Cuil is a search engine developed by Anna Patterson, a former employee of Google. She shook hands with her husband (Tom Costello) and some former employees of Google and now trying to take on her previous employer.
The makers of the Cuil search engine say it should provide better search results and display them in an attractive manner.
Cuil - The search engine
So as per normal human nature, I reviewed the Cuil search engine for one of my site which is coming in top 20 search results in Google, is coming no where in Cuil. Only some pages out of that site are listed in the Cuil search list and those also very later pages.
So I believe that Cuil at this moment is not what they are promising. But this is just a beginning for Cuil so it may become more effective day by day. One more thing I would like to comment about Cuil is I don’t like the interface provided by them. They tried to keep it more attractive but there is no meaning of having 2 columns and 3 columns.
These causes may affect the popularity of Cuil against Google. What do you think about it? Give your suggestions and opinions.
What is Blog? Or what is Blogging?
Yesterday some old friends and I were having a cup of coffee and suddenly one of my friends asked me “What is blog? How do I make money online? I know basic HTML so why it is better to use blog over creating a HTML site?”, so I thought to write something for the new users of the internet and blogs.
It is now more than a decade people are using blogs but still everyday there are so many new users who are getting attracted to blogging. The reason is because of it is getting popular day by day, very easy to create and manage, some of the social networking sites are also promoting these kind of tools and more or less people make money online using blogs by investing just very few bucks.
Blogs originally known as web-logs has gradually gained popularity on the Internet as means of communication. When in earlier decade people were using blogs for their personal information, such as daily updates of their lives or kind of diaries, but today blogging has taken much more space on the internet where people are taking different varieties of topics – from Pins to Airplane; However, in all the way blogging is a simply a better and simple way to share your views and communicate over it.
Blogging is one of the most suitable and effective way of Web-based communication because it requires very little time and it is also easy then creating static html pages and managing them. There are so many free blogging services like Wordpress or blogger where a blog owner can add new posts to his blog while travelling or watching a TV or having a cup of coffee like me 
. It is so simple that he never needs to deal with messy code; he can just create a post and publish it to the readers within seconds.
The main reason why blogs are chosen as the best web-based communication and discussion interface is the feature of quick response called “Comments”. Anybody can debate or give his view on the topic of blog post using this feature. Even if owner just wants to show his view and don’t want any comment on the post that is also possible.
So whatever is the topic of discussion, blogs have the ability to rapidly increase the frequency of communication by acting as an intermediate between a website with all the features and a discussion forum.
