Another search engine cuil.com is gearing up to end the monopoly of google, the name synonymous with the Internet search. A group of former engineers who have worked with IT majors, like Google , eBay, IBM and AltaVista have come up with an alternative called Cuil (pronounced cool). Cuil plans to not only break the monopoly of Google, but also change the surfing culture among users.
Cuil, which precisely means knowledge in Irish, is a start-up by led by husband-wife team Tom Costello (CEO of Cuil) and Anna Patterson, president, along with former colleagues Russell Power, vice-president of engineering, and Louis Monier, vice-president of products. Cuil has got venture funding of about $30 million from Tugboat Ventures, Greylock Partners and Madrone Capital Partners.
