I agree Marc - Cuil may be a larger index, but I'm not sure it's more helpful. I'll attribute the slowness to massive traffic, but that can't explain the lame results (there, I said it). I'm not sure what they are basing their algorithms on, but it's certainly not relevance.

Identi.ca isn't really a play for migration (yet), but rather a different way of doing things. It's open nature (in all ways) sets the table for an interesting meal. I'm not a hardcore IT geek, so I can't really say how the data will work across platforms, but it certainly sounds promising.

Hi Chad,

I wasn't impressed with Cuil at all. For starters, I didn't come up in the first page but the obscure movie actor with my name did. I've worked hard over the last decade to make sure I'm in at least 50% of the top results. So it's weird to not be in it at all.

And for fundraisingcoach? Not even my own site www.fundraisingcoach.com came up! It comes up with obscure link farms and other questionable URLs.

So much for indexing billions of pages. And it's slow too.

As for identi.ca, are people migrating from Twitter? Or simply using both?

Not social but decidedly webby, I've been using MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com) for my file uploading needs. You can create an account or go without one, and it's been the best of the dozen or so uploading sites I've tried.

Songbird (http://getsongbird.com/) is my latest toy. While it's not webby in and of itself, it plays well with sites like Hype Machine, Skreemr, and Last.fm. And you can "play" any music blog's files as a playlist while reading the articles.
