Ugh, no surprise some Stanford geeks were behind it.

Hmm they made a nice attempt at pigeon humor too :)

>>
Isn't it cruel to keep pigeons penned up in tiny data coops?

Google exceeds all international standards for the ethical treatment of its pigeon personnel. Not only are they given free range of the coop and its window ledges, special break rooms have been set up for their convenience. These rooms are stocked with an assortment of delectable seeds and grains and feature the finest in European statuary for roosting.

Re: [A.J.] google secret In reply to

Well, I think I have better ideas...
We can make Links SQL Search Engine better than Google!!!

Here is my suggestion:
My basic idea is to use Pig clusters instead of pigeon clusters used by Google, so the Pigs can dig for truffle (with other word: data) on the net.
The Links SQL Pig cluster would result multiple search speed over pigeon search clusters of Google.

Advantages of Pig clusters:
- Efficient: Pigs are more bigger than pigeons, so can dig much more data within less time.
- Robust: Pigs are very robust applications, that can sit & lay on the computers all the time (if feeding is supported).
- Scalable: This is very important feature. Pigs are very scalable, comparing to the pigeons. Pigeons does have fixed storage capacity only. But Pigs can grow even multiple times more, can pick up more & more data. Furthermore, if a pig storage is getting full, a new pig can be appended to the cluster.

Waiting your opinion about my suggestions. Wink

I think you should upgrade to flying pigs! Looking at google's graphs, the bigger the wing span, the faster pecks per second (or the pig equivalent). Flying pigs would have a huge wing span.

Why on earth have they gone to the effort to make up such a stupid story about how their service works.

If you want a big wingspan try an unicorn. Or how about a B52 bomber or a terradactul?

Yeah, would be possible to use flying pigs Wink

, but we don't want to copy flying solution of Google... Sly

We use pigs to dig the net. Therefore our measurement should be pigdig/second. Cool

Possibly because they get many questions, how is possible, that Google is so fast & accurate, and they don't want to reveal their secrets...

Re: [webmaster33] google secret In reply to

So why not leave it as a secret and keep everyone really impressed rather than creating a lame story :)

I mean, part of it is true....they do give away some real details, but all that pigeon crap....ugh

Who knows, maybe they do use pigeons Sly
