A cite to some Google claims when they came out would be nice. (Academic papers don't count.)
I was in the SF Bay Area at the time and the "publicity" that I remember was friends saying "check this out". I don't recall Google saying anything beyond "here's how many pages we indexed".

Sounds like another Cuil hype type campaign. When Google came out they didn't make any claims. Only factual performance counts.
