Going against the grain is neither automatically mindless nor automatically intelligent. If you do it without thinking, which was what you indicated, that is - by definition - mindless.
How did i indicate that?Sounds to me you are just trolling for an argument and anyway i agree with you. Unless the 'grain' is doing it a worse way than the other way offers. You don't know until you try something properly and do some proper independent thinking, which was blatantly my point.
Obviously if there was a volcanic eruption id probably run in the same direction as everyone else :)
Using it because everyone else is using Google is dumb.
Erm, Im not, what gave you that idea? Im using google as well.As for Cuil i dunno if its better or not yet, as i said, time will tell. Im not overly impressed at the range of results it returns at the moment. At least i am prepared to give something a chance.
From what i can see so far:
Pros:
-Drilldown is a very good tool.
-They keep no data at all on you.
-The look is good, i like the minimal black and the layout of results is nice
-No ads.
Cons:
-Couldnt find advanced options
-Dont like the the name but who cares.
-Couldnt find an image search
-Results seem a little odd when searching for some things.
