Former Googleers unveil Cuil, a new search engine
A start-up led by former star Google engineers on Sunday unveiled a new Web search service that aims to outdo the Internet search leader in size, but faces an uphill battle changing Web surfing habits. Cuil Inc (pronounced "cool") is offering a new search service at http://www.cuil.com that the company claims can index, faster and more cheaply, a far larger portion of the Web than Google, which boasts the largest online index. The would-be Google rival says its service goes beyond prevailing search techniques that focus on Web links and audience traffic patterns and instead analyzes the context of each page and the concepts behind each user search request. "Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index much more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user," Tom Costello, Cuil co-founder and chief executive, said in a statement.
Yahoo's new Zimbra Desktop puts all your e-mail in order
Yahoo is expanding its popular e-mail service to the desktop in a bid to help consumers manage their e-mail accounts when they aren't online. At a conference for developers in Portland, Ore., Zimbra, a Yahoo (YHOO) company, is set to release a beta version of Yahoo Zimbra Desktop, an e-mail program that organizes Yahoo Mail, AOL, Google's Gmail and work and business e-mail accounts in one place - and lets you read, compose and organize messages off-line. The program is a major addition to Yahoo Mail, now used by more than 250 million people. The free service can be accessed even when users are not logged onto the Internet and is "mashed up" to work with online applications. When viewing an e-mail, users can mouse over text to launch digital maps, currency conversion services and more. Zimbra co-founder Satish Dharmaraj calls the gee-whiz features "Zimbra goodness." The 5-year-old company - named after a Talking Heads song - was started at a coffee shop in Palo Alto, Calif., on the premise that e-mail is broken. Yahoo plunked down $350 million to acquire Zimbra in 2007.
Google Counts More Than 1 Trillion Unique Web URLs
In a discovery that would probably send the Dr. Evil character of the "Austin Powers" movies into cardiac arrest, Google recently detected more than a trillion unique URLs on the Web. This milestone awed Google search engineers, who are seeing the Web growing by several billion individual pages every day, company officials wrote in a blog post Friday. In addition to announcing this finding, Google took the opportunity to promote the scope and magnitude of its index. "We don't index every one of those trillion pages-- many of them are similar to each other, or represent auto-generated content... that isn't very useful to searchers. But we're proud to have the most comprehensive index of any search engine, and our goal always has been to index all the world's data," wrote Jesse Alpert and Nissan Hajaj, software engineers in Google's Web Search Infrastructure Team. It had been a while since Google had made public pronouncements about the size of its index, a topic that routinely generated controversy and counterclaims among the major search engine players years ago.
