Every day we search for queries to our preferred search engine.

But do you know that there is a new search engine that has a Web 2.0 style. Cuil offers a search result that does not rely on superficial popularity metrics but it search and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. It also display long entries with thumbnails pictures for many results.

The word "Cuil" is an old Irish word for knowledge.

Cuil was developed by some of the former employees of Google.

I tried browsing and searched some things. And it turned out to be fun because the interface is new and things to explore.

The new character Suou Pavlichenko, an average young girl that will have future events that involves contractors that will come to her family.
