« Redfin's refunds and Trulia's platform | Main | Earth Class raises $13.3 million »
Medio Systems, the heavily funded mobile search startup, has tapped two new executives who previously worked at Microsoft.
Eugene Kuerner, a former Microsoft general manager who led efforts on MSN.com and Live.com, has been named vice president of engineering. Cheryl Scott, who previously worked at Trilogy, Microsoft and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, has been named vice president of carrier deployments.
Both will report to chief operating officer Rob Lilleness.
Last month, Omar Tawakol, the chief advertising officer at Medio Systems, left to create a new startup called BlueKai.

Forget the ad space altogether. It's time that Microsoft to show the long term vision that created their success in the first place. Clearly there are far more valuable, provocative and lucrative problems for technology to solve than consumer spending and entertainment. It's time for the Blue Monster to think bigger thoughts."

Good move guys! Nothing like some ex-MSFT execs to drive your company into the ground. Well, I guess you have to find some way to burn through all that cash.
