After all, Google wasn't the first and definitely won't be the last. The last thing you probably want to do though is ask the user base whether they really want something new. It reminds me of an old quote from Henry Ford, who said something to the effect of, "If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." I doubt the next great search engine will be created from the top down. It's more likely to be the result of someone simply "scratching their own itch" and discovering we all scratch in the same place!

Every time you tell someone about it, you're gonna waste 5 seconds spelling it. Google. Yahoo. Ask. MSN. Don't need to spell it for anyone.

We have a handful of good ones already and we have GOOGLE...the best. The non-Cuil search engines will get better and I don't think Cuil is Cool -- perhaps foolish and greedy. The ex-Google techies needed something to do with their multi-millions of dollars... Couldn't they be more creative? I certainly do not want another search engine.
