			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A quick vanity search (on my name, Aaron Mentele) at brand new search engine slash Google-killer, <a href="http://cuil.com">Cuil</a>, returns an interesting rethink of the way I expect to get search results. Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t see past the garbage to dwell long on the visual shift.</p>
<p>For instance, page one includes my <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/amentele">linkedin profile</a>. That makes sense. But then there are four marginally related results from the <a href="http://electricpulp.com">Electric Pulp site</a>. And by &#8220;marginally related,&#8221; I mean that I work at Electric Pulp. One of these results is paired up with Michael Hall&#8217;s photo &#8211; even though I went to the effort of microformatting those profiles. (I&#8217;m not Michael Hall, by the way.)</p>
<p>Then we move on to results from <a href="http://brianoberkirch.com">Brian Oberkirch&#8217;s site</a>. It seems there is a trackback or two on that site back to my personal site, so Cuil pairs Brian&#8217;s photo with said results.</p>
<p>After that, nothing makes sense. I can&#8217;t even guess at the logic.</p>
<p>So, to recap: WTF is this? Ten pages deep into this garbage, I still can&#8217;t find my personal site. Maybe it&#8217;s the confusing url I selected, http://aaronmentele.com. Whatever it is, I think it&#8217;s time to rethink the <em>launch early</em> mantra. It doesn&#8217;t work for everyone.</p>
<p>UPDATE: <a href="http://andrewhyde.net/cuil-please-stop/">Proof, that Cuil is at least consistent.</a></p>
