Google's New Competition?

[gregdavidson]

I honestly don't think Google is nervous about ANY search engine out there. Unless they make a really stupid move they're probably going to be the top search engine for another 10 years if not more.

That looks pretty interesting, although I think Google is in a very strong position now as it really has a strong grip on the search market, a much stronger grip than its competitors had when it started, especially when people saying things like "Google it. Something like Cuil.com will most likely become a decent resource for those attempting to find information for research purposes

Eh, not all that impressed. Cuil may be really good at finding some stuff, but it is lousy at other stuff.

Google may not be the typical company as described above, but they are very concerned with profits and stifling competition. Otherwise they would not have bought out YouTube and bought exclusive advertising rights at myspace. I hear both great things about them and really scary things about them. What they have is a terrific model for a workplace that I think others should follow, where it is fiscally feasible. They sure know how to attract employees.

Google certainly is aggressive about profits - but check this out....

Google: "I'm feeling lucky" button costs Google $110 million per year

Companies that make sacrifices like that aren't going to lose their edge.

Cuil will only become relevant once it starts to earn more money than Google.

It has the web 2.0 look but nothing will topple Google imo.. Google is a household name, if you have the internet, the chances are you know what Google is.

However popular anything else gets, I still think Google will stay on top.. it is THE search engine.
