Above C-level

It’s too easy, almost to the point of cliché’, to offer negative commentary on a startup who goes head-to-head with a Goliath, such as Google, and fails. But that alone, is not enough reason to go easy on Cuil (pronounced “cool”). After all, the company launched a PR campaign that featured them in numerous worldwide publications today, including the Wall Street Journal, claiming to be the “world’s largest search engine.”

With a tagline like that, they’d better deliver. But do they? You be the judge:

I’ll be back shortly with some more insightful words on Cuil. Until then, I’ll be pondering what they are doing with their $30M+ in funding to become the “world’s largest search engine”, because they are certainly not spending it on infrastructure.
