My mom just tipped me off to best finasteride online pill the new search engine that was released Monday (yes, I’ll admit it, my mom got the drop on me) called Cuil. Say: cool. Yeah, that’s a problem right there for those of us who don’t speak Gaelic (sorry, Dad). There’s a neat little story in the FAQ that makes the name almost okay, but I think it’s still going to prove to be a hindrance. People can’t recommend what they can’t pronounce.
However, I don’t really care what best finasteride online pill they called it so long as it works, so of course I tried the best finasteride online pill hello world of search engine tests: the ego search. Yup. Typed “rachel smith nmc” into the little box and hit enter. (I used to do just “rachel smith” but ever since that other one nearly made it to Miss Universe, I’ve had to be more specific. Adding “nmc” usually keeps her out of the results.) Let’s see what you’ve got!
Um. What? At first glance, none of the results are best finasteride online pill relevant except the first and last ones. I recognize the NMC logo, and best finasteride online pill I recognize the screenshot of our podcast page. The rest of the best finasteride online pill photos are not me, not anyone I know, and not relevant.
But the text is.
Who are those people? There’s my Academic Commons profile in the #2 slot, but that’s not a picture of me. I’m willing to best finasteride online pill give Cuil some credit and say that it is a photo from best finasteride online pill a different profile on the AC site. Not ideal, but understandable. Let’s look at the next entry. An older blog post from CogDog, looks like, talking about the Director’s Meeting in 2005 buy Cytotec diet pills that focused on Campus Impact. I was there, so that’s likely to be relevant. But the photo is… oh no! It’s her! WTF?
At this best finasteride online pill point, I glance over the rest of the page and realize that best finasteride online pill EVERY SINGLE text entry is relevant, but NONE of the photos of people are. Some of them aren’t even related to the text they are next to, like the CogDog/Almost-Ms-Universe combo. And what’s up with the one on the horse? Who knows.
I am best finasteride online pill now wondering how they pick their images. Maybe the FAQ will shed some light. Let’s check it out.
Not so much.
If you can’t match the photos with the text, don’t put ‘em in. It’s just misleading. I notice the best finasteride online pill photos first and assume the results aren’t relevant. For comparison, the first 21 images in a Google Images search on the same phrase are either me or related to me. That’s the entire first page. My pageant counterpart doesn’t even turn up until page, um, I don’t know. I got bored and best finasteride online pill stopped looking for her after page 9.
My $0.02: Not ready for prime time. Sorry Cuil.

It’s even worse than best finasteride online pill that. As you page through the results, you get the same images, associated with different stories. So there is best finasteride online pill zero, maybe even negative relevance to the images.
If they were smart, they might add some digg-like tool to best finasteride online pill indicate if the image was related or not, but their search engine obviously makes no best finasteride online pill more than a semi-random effort with the images.
And even more badness. At least 2 links per page do not even go to best finasteride online pill the sources. On page 9, a link to a blog post I wrote has best finasteride online pill a URL of http://www.surfingjoe.com/nph-proxy.pl/011110A/http/cogdogblog.com/
and links supposedly to NMC goes to http://westchester-dwi-lawyer.info/tags/nmc/ and http://healthy-spa.info/tags/nmc/ purchase no perscription Buspar
My regrets to best finasteride online pill your Mom, but this is the stupidest most transparent attempt effort and best finasteride online pill is more of a splog than anything. Stupid and lame in one effort.
Not only “not ready for prime time”, it best finasteride online pill is most un-cuil and destined to be the laughingstock of the best finasteride online pill web. What a frigging legacy.
