Med.dium.com isn't going to work for me, because I'm very uncomfortable with applications that require me to download a toolbar, and which keep track of my surfing activity. For one thing, I often access the web from computers that don't belong to me, so this type of thing is not an option. And, more importantly, the potential for abuse of the system (most likely not by the admins of Me.dium.com, but instead by unscrupulous users) is just too great. Hi, Chris.

Cuil is definitely going for it, but it's hard to imagine them doing anything but incremental changes to what Google's done. And even that would take years of effort. Me.dium.com has taken a different tack. We have a full web index, but we change the results based on the surfing activity of our user base (now over 2,000,000). It's in alpha, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. http://me.dium.com/search Yes, I had the same experience.
