SEARCHING THE INTERNET?
Are you completely dependent on Google for navigating the old Interweb? Well even if you are, you might want to check out a new search engine that was developed by a group of former Google engineers called www.Cuil.com (--pronounced "cool").
So why might Cuil be superior to Google?
1) According to the people over at Cuil, their search index spans 120 BILLION web pages... which they claim is THREE TIMES as many as Google.
2) Cuil has a slightly more user-friendly, magazine-like format... as opposed to Google's somewhat outdated, vertically-stacked format.
3) Unlike Google, Cuil claims they do not keep info about users' search histories or surfing patterns.
