Yuil cooler than Cuil

This is too funny for words. It's a cruel Cuil parody - but unlike most parodies, it doesn't twist or satirise its original. Instead, it does what feels like a very similar job - but it was written in a few hours by one man called Sam Pullara in Python using Yahoo's BOSS open search services platform.

To make matters worse, in a side-by-side comparison it felt rather faster and produced some rather more apposite pages. It certainly got the pictures better.

Let's hope he doesn't pull the same stunt with ZDNet.

(TOTH to DJ)

[UPDATE - looks like Yuil has been turned off. Shame. Let's hope this isn't another pungent comment on the chances of Cuil's survival]

[UPDATE x 2 - It's back in mufti as 4hoursearch. Break a leg.]
