The NYT has an article on the launch of Cuil.com, a search engine by some Google alums. It's interesting, but I'm getting a lot of weirdness in the results for searches. When I search for "Tom Karlo" (Doesn't everyone throw their own name into a new search engine during the first session?) I get some really odd responses, including Google.com and on occasion, either 600,000+ matches, or zero matches. And when it does come back with matches it often has the weird pairing of my home page, and an image I've never seen next to it as my "photo". It also spat out fails for "Britney Spears," "George Carlin" and didn't include itself in the front page results for "Cuil." I suspect they're having some first-day issues.
