So Cuil is on its way to fame and glory, and maybe even a couple bucks. The business model remains a mystery, so all that remains is to poke at the thing with a stick. Plenty of search pundits are testing it for accuracy, but I'm already quite satisfied with its entertainment potential.I'm talking about those sample images with every listing. A few clicks will show you that many of these image

Cuil was thoughtful enough to supply a webmaster guidelines page from Day 1, presumably to declare a preemptive truce with the SEO community.Well, let's return the favor by getting them a subscription to Webmaster World - you know, those 5 year old threads about how cloaking would work perfectly if we only had a complete list of the crawler's IP addresses.A list like this...addthis_url='';

Video search has a long way to go before the technology actually works. But another questions is sitting in the background: even if the tech gets sorted out, will consumers use a search box they way they now use a remote? I've posted some thoughts on Search Engine Land - check it out. Could there be anything specific to the online video experience that differentiates it from other forms of web

Companies are starting to realize that people are flocking to online video, spending their couch time staring down at a laptop, Cheetos on hot stand-by. Scary news if you're a TV network - so what do you do? Try to build a video portal of your own. Only sexier! And more sophisticated! And... ooops - they just lost their audience. Search engines can't find clips inside that fancy all-in-one video

It's ironic that people groan when Twitter comes-up in a conversation: "Another social network I have to maintain? No thanks." The reality is that Twitter is simple and low-key - the antithesis of the typical MySpace/LinkedIn annoyances. The brevity and immediacy of Twitter opens-up the possibility of interesting side applications. Consider the characteristics: Twitter messages are necessarily
