A new search engine has joined in the fray for dominance on the web.  It's called Cuil (pronounced "Cool") named after a celtic legend Finn McCuill.  http://www.cuil.com  The new search engine is built by former Google employees and supposedly does a much better job since it's breadth and depth of searching is allegedly greater than the current search giant.
Unfortunately, when I go to the page, I get this:

We'll be back soon...

Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now. The search engine is momentarily unavailable as we add more capacity.

Thanks for your patience.

Today is launch day.  It's a shame they weren't able to anticipate the load, because this looks bad on them.  Very bad.
