When to Tell Your Wife You're Taking her Company Down (aka More from Cuil's Founders)

Two more segments of my interview with the controversial startup. The first is their take on the search landscape and why there was and is such a big hole. As a journalist, what I love about this clip is how bullish they remain on their technology as the only real alternative to Google. I expect some people admire it, and it do drive haters into even more of an angry rage. Also: Tom's explains why the launch was a success.

The second clip is Anna Patterson's story -- why she left Google and why she had mixed feelings about it. Anyone who's faced that decision to stay in a cushy job or risk it all on something new will relate to what she says. I also found the dynamic as husband and wife and co-founders fascinating. Tom Costello actually hid from his wife that he was working on a search engine -- showing VCs the idea before her-- and once she saw it she almost felt she had to quit. (Despite some concerns it would work outside of a math equation) First two segments here.
