Former Google Employees has unveiled Cuil Inc (pronounced “cool”), a new search service at www.cuil.com that the company claims can index, faster and more cheaply, a far larger portion of the Web than Google, which boasts the largest online index. Cuil claims it boosts an index of 120 billion web pages, and is the most comprehensive search engine on the web.

Tom Costello, Cuil co-founder and chief executive, said in a statement.

“Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index much more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user.”

A search of the term "yowazzup" shows 13,548 results compared to 11,000 at Google. However, Cuil only shows up to 23 pages, which means a maximum of 230 web pages.

When I go to the Preferences and turn on "Safe Search" and "Typing Suggestions", the term "yowazzup" shows zero result.

Cuil may be cool but it still lacks something that Google has.

Google has set up a page to support disaster relief in Myanmar (Burma). There are two options of donation — donate to UNICEF or donate to Direct Relief. For both of these, 100% of your contributions will go to the programs. You need to have a Google account though as both of these use Google Checkout to process the donations.

Let’s help the survivors of the cyclone to rebuild their communities, and their lives.

Google, as usual, changed it logos for the occasion while Yahoo! uses an animated Flash that will turn both it’s “O” into recycle symbols when you mouse over it while a plant will grow besides the letter, “Y” when you mouse over the logo for the first time.

If you realize, besides Google and Yahoo, YouTube has also changed its logo purposely for Earth Day. Seems like more and more web sites are creating awareness for Earth Day this time around.

According to TechCrunch.com, Digg is prepared to take less than the $300 million Allen & Co. were floating late last year. TechCrunch reported that Google will likely bid around $200-$225 million bracket while Microsoft is very likely to bid lower since most of Digg’s revenue today comes from a three year advertising deal with Microsoft.

It is interesting to see whoever that manage to takeover Digg.com as it is somewhat dying now. You might ask why Yahoo! is not even interested? Because they already have Yahoo! Buzz, a newly launched Digg-clone.

What is Google Sites?

Google Sites is an online application that makes creating a team web site as easy as editing a document. You can quickly gather a variety of information in one place — including videos, calendars, presentations, attachments, and gadgets —l and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, their entire organization, or the world.

Google Sites is the easiest way to make information accessible to people who need quick, up-to-date access. People can work together on a Site to add file attachments, information from other Google applications (like Google Docs, Google Calendar, YouTube and Picasa), and new free-form content. Creating a site together is as easy as editing a document, and you always control who has access, whether it’s just yourself, your team, or your whole organization. You can even publish Sites to the world. The Google Sites web application is accessible from any internet connected computer.

• Anyone can do it — Building a site is as simple as editing a document, and you don’t need anyone’s help to get started.
• Share from one place — Create a single place to bring together all the information your team needs to share, including docs, videos, photos, calendars and attachments.
• Work together — Invite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date. And let as many or few people view your site as you want.

Check out some example sites to see how you might use Google Sites:

• Company intranet — http://sites.google.com/a/organic-city.com/intranet/Home
• Team project — http://sites.google.com/a/altostrat.com/project-eggplant/Home
• Employee profile — http://sites.google.com/a/altostrat.com/jkraus/Home
• Classroom — http://sites.google.com/a/googleclassrooms.org/mrs-richau/Home
• Student club — http://sites.google.com/a/googleuniversity.org/ski-club/Home

However, Google Sites is exclusively available in Google Apps. You need to have at least a Team or Standard Google Apps account (both are free).

Google Image Labeler

How does it work?

You’ll be randomly paired with a partner who’s online and using the feature. Over a two-minute period, you and your partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner’s label, you’ll earn points depending on how specific your label is. You’ll be shown more images until time runs out. After time expires, you can explore the images you’ve seen and the websites where those images were found. And Google will show you the points you’ve earned throughout the session.
