JUST AFTER LISTENING TO my main man Damien Mulley explain Cuil (rhymes with "cool") to Morning Ireland listeners during the morning commute rush hour and through the static comes the message that Cuil is cool, maybe a Google option (especially for those concerned about the State hoovering their private search details), and that there's an Irish link to this emerging search engine. We had a look at Damien Mulley and Morning Ireland as viewed by Cuil and found a representative cross-section of results. Cuil does the presentation well with a "new perspective on search", following the same kind of screenscape as Alltop Ireland. Viewers can see at a glance stuff that might be real content or spammy content and astute searchers can decide what to click on and read. Unlike Google, Cuil does not harvest IP addresses on queries and that alone may attract early adopters to its service. Cade Metz points out some other interesting facets of the Cuil service (NSFW). Sarah Carey attracts dozens of comments about Cuil on the day it launched..
Damien Mulley as an MP3 (not a podcast, just a 4-minute clip with loadsa static). And the Podcamp Ireland planners talking about Cuil (another 4-minute clip).
