It's just all about page views/ viewers/ readers. Controversy sells. Agreement is la de da and life goes on (boring). Lives are boring enough if everyone agrees.

You were quoted in the Silion Valley Web Guild email blast yesterday by the way.

But still, this is potentially a big whammo on their servers and they already can't keep up with demand (see the hours long delay on google analytics) and with their google ad manager coming up for the masses, I wonder if they really want to tack on a new revenueless cpu sink.

In order to do it they would need a different approach, I believe folks like Steve Yegge have left us some clues :<br><a href="http://www.folknology.com/blogs/default/2008/04/01/1207046700000.html">http://www.folknology.com/blogs/default/2008/04...</a><br><br>regards<br>Al The interesting thing is how can Google make a freemium cloud play against Amazon.
