I guess you already heard about it, Cuil, a search engine that has been mentioned prominently lately in the media. Why so? Well cause this search engine has been developed by a group of ex google employees and therefore the expectations around it are pretty high. So did you have a look at it? if not just go to http://www.cuil.com.

The makers or Cuil are boasting that cuil is the search engine that spiders most pages which is true but on the other hand I hope that they don’t boast on it’s layout and search results. I really don’t like the colour scheme and the way the results appear, I think it is too messy. The search results are something else that I don’t like, Google’s search results are by far better than Cuil’s, to mention it all even yahoo’s, ask’s and live’s search results are better. But not all is bad, a feature that I really liked is the related search feature. When someone searches for a particular keyword, Cuil offers a few related searches which will narrow’s one search results and help him find what he wants quicker. Summing it all up I really think that there still is a long way to go if they really want to compete with the big G.

YES it is! I was one of those guys that didn’t like Facebook and considered it a waste of time. The reason why I never liked Facebook were the applications, I always thought that they made Facebook appear too cluttered. On the other hand I always thought that Facebook is a cool way to keep in touch with everyone. Before moving on I’d like to repeat myself once more by saying that IMO Facebook is a time waster but I have to admit that I did start loving it, even the applications! How come the change of heart? Well I received an invitation to a mobsters game (Facebook application) called “Mob Wars” and I must admit that it really got to me. I always had a liking to these mafia games, I found Mob Wars very relaxing, it is a very simple game but at the same time the fact that I am playing against other people makes it very interesting. Now I ended up logging into Facebook every few hours just to check my status in Mob Wars and keep things going. Hope I’ll manage to rule the city!
