A new large search engine called Cuil (pronounced “cool”) was launched this week.
By Pandia Guest Writer Lars Våge, Internetbrus
According to Cuil the search engine is three times as big as Google, Yahoo and the others, with more than 120 billion web pages in its index.
The last time I say figures this high in relation to other search engines was for Recall, the short lived full text search of the Internet Achive in 2003. (That being said, Google now claims to have found 1 trillion pages on the web).
Anna Patterson from Stanford University was responsible for the Recall Project, and she is actually one of the founders of Cuil.
In this team we also find a certain Mr Louis Monier. Yepp, that was the man that created AltaVista. Both Anna, Louis and some other members in the Cuil team have until recently been working for Google.

Google has launched its Wikipedia-killer to the world. Will they succeed?
Last week Google made its new site, Knol, open to all the world. Until then only beta-testers had been able to read and contribute.

Then readers may make comments and rate the article. They may also may suggest addition and rewrites, but the first author retains control of the text.
The author has the last word

In Knol the author may reserve the right to accept or reject such rewrites. This is called “Moderated Collaboration” by Google.
This alternative way of doing it means that some of the articles become less like the authoritative and scholarly encyclopedia articles we find in the Wikipedia, [...]

How many Web pages are there out there, really? More than 1 trillion, Google reports.
The fact is that no one knows the exact number, and the fact that a lot of the content is hidden behind database search forms means that we never will.
Still, the search engine companies make a living out of spidering the Web, trying to find all the good stuff, and they probably have a pretty good idea about what size we are talking about here.
The Google Blog now reports:
“Recently, even our search engineers stopped in awe about just how big the web is these days — when our systems that process links on the web to find new content hit a milestone: 1 trillion (as in 1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web at once!”
The blog truthfully reports that this is not the total number, as Google has not indexed all the pages there is. Moreover, there [...]
