Ex-spokesman for Arnold finds Cuil reception

Upstart search engine Cuil — pronounced “cool” — launched to generally lousy reviews yesterday:
Yeesh. Tough crowd. But, why am I writing about this on a political blog, you might ask?
Because as you’ll see from the article at ChannelWeb — ” ‘Cuil works about as well as if I typed random URLs into the browser. Absolutely useless!’ ” — the company’s vice president of communications is Vince Sollitto, a former chief deputy press secretary to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
These Cuil reviews make you wonder whether Sollitto wishes he could be fielding questions about the $15 billion state budget deficit or the governor’s unpopular plan to cut state workers salaries to minimum wage. Probably not, though — even a stumbling startup probably pays more than government service. Or journalism.
