I’ve been amped on SlideRocket for a while. After watching the video by Scobleizer on the presentation tool, I signed up for the waiting list to get in on the private beta testing.

After weeks of waiting, I finally received my invite yesterday. I did the usual follow the URL, create an account, log in and enjoy. Only my account creating went horribly wrong somewhere along the way. The log in doesn’t recognize my id and password and the ‘I forgot my password’ link doesn’t work. So I can’t get through on my beta testing invite.

Needless to say I’m super bummed. My link no longer works to reset the account, because it shows it as a used invite. I need help getting through to the SlideRocket folks to get my account activated.

Totally bummed.

The new search engine Cuil (pronounced as cool) launched earlier this week. Lots of online hype, but I am just not impressed by it.

Interface is interesting, although a bit too much text to read through. Results are just wacky! A post on Current regarding these wacky results asks you to type ‘Jesus’ in the search results…#1 result is Jesus Dress Up. Seriously check out the site.

I’ve typed in client URLs for the search phrase and yet those pages are not served up in the search results. With Google now owning about 90% of all online searches after its acquisition of Yahoo’s search capabilities, I’m glad to see there are some new companies trying to balance it all out. I just wish that Cuil lived up to the hype.
