Spin can be a powerful thing, both positive and negative, and it only takes one wrong move to be thrown off the bucking bronco of popular opinion. Everyone deserves a second chance. I hope Cuil uses theirs to the maximum advantage! I think Cuil ought to shoot their PR team and try again.

If they had launched with a different slant on why people should use cuil they would probably had an easier time. They failed abysmally on my searches and searching for markevanstech.com or wdawe.com don't return the sites.

But I caught it up next day... And giving me binary garbage (insides of rar archives and debian packages) as search results had massacred my second impression. :) Stability is hardly only feature that they got wrong.
