I don't get it. How is 121,617,892,992 3x bigger than 1,000,000,000,000?

That's how many Google has tracked - it is not how many it has indexed for searches ;)

I like the fact that they attach a picture to each search result. However, the idea is lost since it seems to be a completely random one, and not the logo of the homepage.
For example, if you search for TrustedReviews you get a nice Iphone logo to go with it.

It also seems a bit slow to return search results on my machine. Considering that Google returns near instantaneous results back, this is a bit of a negative for me. Although it could be that the servers are being hammered due to all the publicity it's getting. I'll try again later on.

'Cuil' makes it sound like it was named by a Brummie.

Can't see it worrying Google somehow, even with that much venture capital behind them. Can only really see it disappointing its bank manager.
