Cuil (pronounced “Cool”) is the newest search engine to hit the Internet.

I believed when Google announced their purchase of YouTube that they would be able to monetize the video sharing site very well and make considerable amounts of cash, however I was a little too optimistic.

Many people (including me) thought it was crazy when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg turned down a $750 Million buyout offer last year. At the time, analysts were saying that Zuckerberg and Co. were seeking around $2 Billion for the company - or about four times as much as MySpace was purchased for by News Corp [...]
