Recently, a new search engine named CUIL (Pronounced as Cool , (as per owners) but i think it should be ” CU E L ” ) Launched. One of the main reason why this search engine gained popularity is that , it is developed by some EX-Engineers of Google Inc. What ever, but now it is gaining popularity. Many newspapers, Bloggers(including me), TV News networks given free popularity to Cuil and i thing its worth. At least there is some one who is trying to compete The Google. (It Depends, Lets see in near future)
Cuil Engineers claimed that its 3 times as fast as Google and 10 Times as fast as MSN (But i am still waiting for my site to be crawled by them 
). Ok, so if you want your site to be crawled by Twiceler (The CUIL BOT) then just drop an e-mail to them at crawlme@cuil.com.
I was wondering that just few days ago, when i searched CUIL in CUIL.com, Woola , There site i.e. cuil.com was not in the list (but now it is there in there Index). It was shocking for me.
So lets hope now Twicler will come here to crawl TheChetan.com as soon as possible.

cuil is crawnling with IP adress 216.129.119.41
My website is not indexed anywhere because it is in construction and it is already crawled ! I imagine they have ways to learn which sites to crawl for instance if you install weblogexpert, maybe this program sends your domain adress to them.

Well I am not exactly fond of it. I think it was a major contributing factor to getting my hosting account temporarily suspended.
Quote “I don’t know what spawned it, but when Cuil attempts to index a site, it does so by completely hammering it with traffic,” the tipster wrote. “So much, that it completely brings the site down. We’re 24 hours into this “index” of the site, and I’ve had to restrict traffic to the site down to 2 packets per second, while discarding the rest, or otherwise it makes the site unusable.”
The Admin Zone forums are abuzz over Cuil’s overzealous method for indexing. Countless posters on the site have said that their websites have been brought down because of the Twiceler robot and one user said it “leeched enormous amounts of bandwidth — nearly 2GB this month until it was blocked. It visited nearly 70,000 times!”
Website owners are also saying that the way Cuil indexes sites isn’t scientific in any way and is actually quite “amateurish.” According to those who experienced the Twiceler onslaught, the bot seems to “randomly hit a site and continue to guess and generate pseudo-random URLs in an attempt to find pages that aren’t accessible by links. And by doing this, they completely bring a site down to where it’s not functional.”
