it's pronounce "cool".

i'm not impressed either. but it's only day 1. if they pay more for ads, i'm sure people will start putting them onto their websites.

we'll see what happens with them. I would like to know if they plan on any other venture capital coming in. $33million is a lot of money to invest for a simple search engine. they must have some pretty big plans.

Just found this in an article.

Cuil eventually plans to make money through advertising, although the service won't display any ads at launch. Ms. Patterson said the company hasn't decided whether to sell advertising itself or whether to partner with a third party. It has developed various mock-ups that allow users to collapse ads or to scroll through them, she said.
