Non-relevant Search Engine Updates (and other fun)
Remember cuil? I don't blame you if you don't as there was a ton of hype around this being the next big 'Google Killer' a year or two ago and not much after. cuil never lived up to the hype, but yet continues to somehow survive and manages to keep providing the same non-relevant results as always.
Well, recently I found (via TechCrunch) this great information showing a little known, but pretty cool search engine called Duck Duck Go that is leveraging some brand equity (if there is any left) from cuil (at least someone is getting something from it) by creating two new websites that look and feel as cuil, but actual provide relevant results (via Duck Duck Go).
These sites are called:
cuiler - link
cuilest - link
In addition, you may find this entertaining. Here is a link to explain and define a 'cuil' - cuil defined
Also, some late breaking news from Ask.com. Someone within the organization has finally decided to update their blog with a new post.
This post is almost as compelling as their last. It is titled: Ada Lovelace Day: Who Do We Think Are Great Women in Technology? and it only took them 132 days to update it. Kudos to whoever is in charge of that....:-)

Haha, didn't notice the Ask thing--that's hilarious. I'm the founder of Duck Duck Go--thanks for checking it out and for the write-up. Let me know if you have any feedback.
