A quick thanks go to commenter and regular visitor Malc for pointing this one out to me.
Back in August of this year I wrote a little piece on search engine Cuil hoping that this might just be the one to stand up to the near monopoly that is the evil Google giant. I still like and use Cuil wherever possible but the publicity that was generated by it’s launch soon dissipated and the momentum seemed to be quickly lost.
One thing I have never done is enter my own domain name into the search engine. I have not done that with Google either come to think of it. And so it was left to Malc to discover the horrible truth. The illustration shows the top search result from Cuil and of the many hundreds of images sitting up on the server that have graced these pages over the years what one does it choose?
In the words of Malc… “I thought it a very appropriate example of how a search engine shouldn’t do things”.
Bloody right.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Talk about rubbing saltire into the wound!
try Wikipedia on saltire – “It forms the national Flag of Scotland and Flag of Jamaica, and appears on many other flags, arms and seals. It is also used as a traffic sign.”
Scots, Jamaicans and the Police – seems about right for England:-)
