I was sharing with my son this evening about a trumpet player who would play by blowing out his cheeks and neck to play his horn. It’s actually really bad form, at least according to my band director as he was teaching me to play many years ago.

I think sometimes we may forget about the simple little things we can find online and uncover on the Internet. The ability to find a quick video segment of Dizzy Gillespie to show my son is a tremendous resource. It’s like having a multi-media, never aging set of encyclopedia’s at your finger tips.

Just think of something you’re interested in and go look for it on YouTube to see what you can find. I’m sure you’ll be pleased and find something interesting in your online search.

Cuil.com brings another search player into town to do battle with the existing sites that we’re all already familiar.

It used to be that Google was the king of simple design and layout but Cuil.com makes Google’s homepage look more like a cramped portal site with more items there to distract you from what you’re really there to do… search!

The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.

Big talk from the new guy, but in my brief experience of playing around with the site so far, they’re delivering on their expectations and doing it in a nice layout and style.

I really like the multi-column layout view and potentially pertinent image thumbnails to help you decide about the search results. I don’t expect it to last long, but I also like the page devoid from advertisements and sponsored search results.
