The launch of Cuil, a new search engine founded by ex-Googlers, has been covered extensively in the blogosphere so far. But a couple of great tech bloggers have begun to point out the amusing/strange results that come from “Cuiling” their names (doesn’t have the ring of googling, does it?).  These are people whose names are plastered all over the web, theoretically giving a search engine much to work with.  Chris Brogan’s own blog didn’t come up when he cuiled himself. A cuil search for Louis Gray turns up some of his social web profiles with hilarious mismatched photos.

Joining the fray, I was surprised to learn that Hometown Baghdad was not about three Iraqi students trying to survive during wartime. It was about American football. Who knew?

In all seriousness, I am in no place to criticize a new tech product. We are a few days away from launching our very first release of the Qwidget. So tiny bugs in first releases are something I can certainly forgive. I just couldn’t resist posting this screen grab.
