A new search engine – a new privacy policy
There's a new search engine out there - cuil, an old Irish word for knowledge. According to their press, they've reinvented search based on the philosophy that users are what drive search, not the content providers. As anyone who uses google on a regular basis can confirm, google's top hits are often the most popular, not necessarily the most informative.
I've only started using cuil today, so we'll see how it fares down the road, but their Privacy Policy is to be admired. NO identifying information. Search for whatever you'd like without being profiled. Hallelujah.
UPDATE: I wouldn't go switching from your favorite search engine of choice just yet. Whether it be Google, Yahoo!, Ask, or even HotBot, cuil is not yet ready to take its place.
Their "categories" don't seem to correlate with your search. Simple keywords return 0 results or irrelevant results. Phrases return unrelated results or the result you're looking for is 5 pages down.
