Cuil launches then crashes – FAIL!
July 28th, 2008 David ChungCuil launched today with some pretty decent coverage from the SEO press. However, today’s launch didn’t go according to plan as the server fell over itself due to high traffic! Not a great start to something being touted as a Google beater. I’m sure it will be back soon.
Danny Sullivan has written a good article testing the relevancy of searches compared to Google. Check it out here.
UPDATE: The site is now working but www.cuill.com with the two ‘l’s doesn’t even redirect to the main domain: www.cuil.com! Talk about branding issues! It seems Cuil does have its fair share of domain problems, being the unforunate spelling error could lead you to a hardcare porn site. FAIL AGAIN!
UPDATE01/08/0: www.cuill.com now redirects to www.cuil.com
