Cuil has launched its brand new search engine today after receiving 25m in funding back in April. The California-based start-up is led by Irishman, Tom Costello, a computing graduate of Trinity College Dublin and his wife Anna Patterson, the president of Cuil and former Google employee.
Cuil’s new search engine is the first product to be seriously touted as representing plausible competition to Google.
Both Ask.com and Windows Live search received significant makeovers in the recent past in terms of both the look and the search technology behind the scenes but there has been no notable new rivals to the established reigning king of search, Google.
While the Jimmy Wales-backed Wikia Search was launched earlier this year, even the Wikipedia co-founder admitted it was in no way, shape or form a threat to Google.
