Even before Cuil was puiblc', I saw mention of it on another forum, and the thinking there was that it was all a ploy to develop an alternate search strategy to Google, then sell the technology back to Google. If Cuil is made up of ex-Google employees, that would make sense in light of the abysmal failure Cuil has been to the general puiblc. So they sell Cuil back to their former masters for a killing, and a year or two later, we see some form of an alternate Google-pretty' search engine, marketed for people who don't like search engines or some other marketing nonsense.
