Almost all fan fare Cuil Search Engine was launched 2 days back. Eager to try this search engine out, I rushed to the website. The first impression of the search engine were great. Cuil has an awesome interface for displaying search results. It makes all the search results seem so visually appealing.

I know the next question you would ask me is “how much relevant is this website in terms of search?”. Well I think in the next few months, it might just become your alternate search engine to Google.

Let’s just wait and watch

It is official: two of the World Wide Web’s largest search entities Yahoo! and Google are set to rock the world with its future partnership. They will cooperate after agreeing on a search advertising deal. So shaken were the public and other investors that Yahoo Inc.’s shares plummeted down 3 percent in June 2008 shortly after the merger is announced. As if that is not enough, it further dropped 16 percent after Yahoo Inc. refused to foster ties with another Internet giant, Microsoft. Investors are concerned that Yahoo! will eventually lose out to Google but its president assures them that they will profit via less common search terms.

Google fans are pleasantly surprised with the amazing barrage of features for Gmail users. With the introduction of Gmail Labs, 13 ground breaking experimental ideas have been unleashed. These features can be accessed by all UK and US English users. Those who are using Google Apps but do not want to take advantage of the brand new features can turn it off under Domain Settings. Google assures users that should a feature ever fail or needs tweaking, all it takes are ample feedback and Google will fix the bugs in no time. An amusing addition to the slew of Gmail Labs features include Old Snakey, a game that lets users indulge in old school game of Snake in Gmail!
