Is it Cool to be Cuil?

If you remember, I have tried using just Ask.com, and Live.com as my main search engine for a time. Just to see what it would be like if Google went away. It wasn’t that bad, I could actually do that if needed. I know this is a little premature, but I figured Id try the [...]
