It seems Google has never faced such fierce competition before. CUIL, a brand new Search Engine application launched yesterday, comes with everything Google’s search engine has, plus a new, sleek, ‘web 2.0’ look. Just yesterday, on its launch day it indexed approximately 121,617,892,992 web sites.

Let’s face it, we all love Google, and Google has done a lot more than just the most efficient, popular search engine out there. Regardless, there seems to be a common trend around the web. We have seen it before between Apple™ and Microsoft™, between Facebook™ and MySpace™.

Not to mention the huge development of open source software, frameworks, libraries and even operating systems that become more and more stable every day.

“Either invent something new, or build on something that already exists” —easier said than done.

Now, having said that, CUIL’s features are not the most appropiate for every search. Category listings can be extremely useful, but sometimes we want to see the results of a search as quickly as possible. In other words, we can safely say that CUIL will never be ‘better’ than Google, but at least, CUIL might become more appropiate in some circumstances.
