So lots of technology sites are all excited about the launch of cuil.com, yet another in a long line of companies that the hype says could dethrone Google.

I went to cuil.com and searched for Amtrak.

It came up with hits for various routes, a historical society, etc. Everything except the actual homepage of Amtrak, amtrak.com, which has the most useful information about Amtrak.

#1 hit on Google.

If Cuil can’t get that right, why bother?
