Last week after the initial launch of this new search engine, HitWise revealed the first Cuil search engine statistics of the bad named “Google Killer”.
Once again HitWise “shows the new trend of Cuil search engine after the initial launch, the next graphic shows that their servers have cool down to regular temperature and have acquire a more real position (34) in HitWise search engines category.
Once again, it’s too early to define the real power of this new search engine and to see what is the main feature that users will look for. To see the real power & behavior of Cuil, we need to wait for several months.
HitWise also reveals an interesting data. Users: male 64.4% and the largest age segment of visitors is 55+, let’s remember, these are numbers from HitWise US captive users, numbers may not represent an exact quantity but it’s a real trend.
Have you at least try the new Cuil search engine?

This only shows that it’s hard to imagine Cuil doing anything but incremental changes to what Google’s done. And even that would take years of effort. They captured initial interest from everyone because they positioned themselves as a direct competitor to Google. We shall see if they can actually deliver on this promise in the upcoming months.
Me.dium.com has taken a different tack. We have a full web index, but we change the results based on the surfing activity of our user base (now over 2,000,000). It’s in alpha, but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. http://me.dium.com/search
