Let’s face it: the internet is a great resource full of information about anything you could imagine, but it can be extremely difficult to sift through lots of pages to find exactly what you need. Search results traditionally have been about giving you a list of relevant pages to explore based on your query, but today Cuil is launching a new way to visualize the information we’ve compiled about your query — timelines.
Augmenting our current functionality like maps, our timelines will appear on the far right of the page when you search for something that has a range of dates associated with it. Try it now — search for Abraham Lincoln and check out the timeline of events related to this great leader, or try Alan Turing for the history of the person who made a lot of this possible. We make it easy to explore the events in the timeline, just move your mouse over an event and a pop-up will appear with a longer description and a link to search for related pages.
Beyond people, timelines can be a useful tool for displaying information about a period in history, such as the Great Depression. Or a famous sports arena, like Madison Square Garden. Or, say, the highest bridge in the world, the Millau Viaduct.
This is the first of many experiments we’re doing to help users to find and explore information in a more visual way, breaking free of the old status quo that search results should just be a list of web pages. Of course, this is our first iteration of timelines, so please let us know your feedback.

@shinji — this is just the first release of Timelines, and as such it isn’t built to work on Safari 4 yet. Sorry, please stay tuned!

I like the timelines idea, but why horizontal? I just checked out Isaac Newton’s timeline and it was somewhat confusing, especially in the preview window. A vertical timeline would be more intuitive.

Just wanted to say i check cuil out every month or so to see whats new. The big G is still number one but its interesting to see some serious competition…. :)
Btw. is it in my imagination or is “Search 124,426,951,803 web pages” like 6 months old…!?!?

In my opinion vertical timeline also would be more understandable
