Hmm maybe to make it look less like advertising you can ask people what they think about the the search engine to provoke discussion.

EDIT: WHOA! I thought this was a game not a search engine, you dirty advertiser.

You could alter your OP, and just make a more thorough explanation of what exactly it is, and what features it has that you like better. Information is always better than an opinion backed up with nothing.

I just checked it out, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed.

The layout seems a bit cluttered, and it only has basic search (there is a bit of video, but it's only Hulu, so it's not really worth mentioning)

Kicks Google's ass? I think not. It doesn't even kick Ask.com's ass.

Just to be spiteful I searched for Cuil on Google, if only I was using Chrome.

Cuil is a new search engine developed by some google defectors (so I've been told) and is a good search engine. I would just like people to check it out and tell me what they think about it. It's interface is more userfriendly(if that's possible) and feels very "apple-esque". There, I have explained it...no more telling me "I'm not gonna check it out because google is better!"...just check it out
I'd recommend writing a review and posting it in the Review section. It's likely to give people more material and open up your own critical career. They're fun too. I look forward to it.

I wasn't talking about typing in the thing and clicking search...I'm referring to the results...They appear in a friendlier more approachable format...check it out before posting a stupid comment...

Nah, don't bother. Just post a link to the review once it's written. Just a warning, you will have people commenting on your writing style when reviewing. They'll likely offer some criticism and advice too. Don't hold your ego too high.

You can try, but you might have trouble finding a delete button. I also tried it out and it looks nice, but if you do a review of it, that would be fantastic, because I don't want to fiddle with it enough to learn a lot of features. Could be a good find, though. Good job.

Don't criticize him for not understanding your ambiguously phrased review.

Thats what your review is for, if he doesn't know then its your fault. A review isn't an ad, your job is to explain, not to make us go to it.

People aren't flaming. But you are advertizing
I know...I was a little "out of my right mind" when I posted this...read the review...

I wasn't planning to reply but you forced me to so you bought it on yourself.
And why does stating the truth annoy you?
OMFG! how is this advertising? hm? writing a review is advertising? Let's go burn down IGN and Stab Yahtzee! Or here's an idea! SHUT UP!
