Google wannabe in damage control

Yes, it is still bad


A few days after much-hyped search engine Cuil's disastrous launch, the service has sort of improved.

It no longer spits out "no result" answers for basic queries like "penguin" and "failure" and can even find itself. However, it still can't attach the right image to the results or even accurate results.

Now the company appears to be in damage control mode.  A spokesCuil has now conceded that Cuil still isn't going to offer up good results every time. Apparently, it is not supposed to be better than Google - just an alternative.

In fact, he said that people will go to Google first and then come to Cuil. The question is, what is the point of that! (Getting a few cheap laughs I guess, sub.ed.)
