I saw this article on RW/W just now that was asking "how did Cuil get so much press on Day 1?", and commented on it.

I mention this because I think my comment is important to be seen from outside the RW/W readership, so you can either see it in the natural habitat, or read it below:

How?

Because it's part of the echo-chamber.

If you mention "ex-Google", "startup", and "funded" in the same sentence (or even paragraph), certain blogs will just cover it automatically.

And then, of course, other blogs will cover it because those one-or-two blogs covered it first.
