Cuil - search company of former Googlers

Of interest to some folks on this list, I imagine, is the new search engine
www.cuil.com (pronounced Cool, why do people come up with such strange
names? Like "wiki"...)

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/28/technology/28cool.html

Pretty nifty interface, and they say they have the largest index of web
pages (120 billion) in the search industry.

*ONLY* 120 billion? According to Google Blog,
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/we-knew-web-was-big.html
their index has reached 1 trillion unique URLs.

Or, umm, lack of info... "let's just make up a number and assume
(probably incorrectly) that Google's index is 250 billion web pages."
