CUIL IN A DEEP FREEZE

Tracking the share of searches performed on CUIL (the self-proclaimed "Google killer") since July 29, the news is not so cool for CUIL. They've hit rock bottom just thirteen days following the debut. See my original post here.

Can they come back from the cryogenic state they're in? Not likely.

So much for the investments made by Madrone Capital, Greylock Partners, and Tugboat Ventures.

The ship is sunk ...buh bye.
