GOOGLE is watching you. Google knows all. Google is your freind. So is Cuil, and it’s pronounced “cool.”
In her two years at Google, Anna Patterson helped design and build some of the pillars of the company’s search engine, including its large index of Web pages and some of the formulas it uses for ranking search results.

Build it. And with any luck, Google will buy it…

Particularly if they buy my mousetrap…
