Is Cuil, the new search engine that seems to have lost momentum, trying to bring brand awareness back to the forefront by adding spam comments to blogs? That's what I'd say -- after all, they spammed my blog:
And that's also what forum members have caught. A Sphinn submission points to a blog post where it's obvious that I'm not the only one who was a victim of the Cuil spam. Even WebmasterWorld forum members are a bit shocked.
On my flickr screenshot (click the image above for the link), Brad from Cuil writes the following:
Hey Tamar, it actually isn't us (Cuil) posting the spam. We are as against spamming as you. We'll be doing a blog post later today to clear things up.
And just as promised, the Cuil team has written a blog post to publicly inform the community that it's not them either.
Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld and Sphinn.
