The layout takes some real getting used to and search results for the types of searches I do just aren't on par with Google or Yahoo. I’m not a fan of Cuil either.

They did improve somewhat afterward, however, and seem to be picking up more results and increasing relevance as more people have been testing out the engine. In the long run, I hope they get things together and perform well enough to compete with the major search engines and then maybe do some advertising. I would like to see more serious competitors to Google in order to hold their power in check and encourage more transparency overall.
