How much spam?
Well, off to deleting spam, see you.
Well, couple of days ago, I was with friends of mine over at the favorite local hang-out spot of ours, and we started discussing web 2.0. It seems that we’ve got some pretty bad ideas, such as these: Web 2.0 apps will eat all available internet bandwidth before 2010. And here’s why: Bandwidth is limited. We’ve already seen applications like Google suggest that give you partial results, by getting all results that matter to you. Well, you type a letter, and Google sends you partials, using bandwidth. Then you type another letter, and Google uses some more bandwidth. as you continue typing letters, you can see that these small fractions of bandwidth usage, multiplied by a billion or more users using Google at a same time, will take billion times more bandwidth, times number of letters used for search. As almost every search is 4 letters or more, you can foresee the scenario… But, there’s an encouraging thoughts, which we didn’t think about: by 2010, internet will expand. It will expand more and more, thus allowing such a waste of bandwidth…
Google is mentioned here per-example, it could be any web service that uses such partial queries to their servers, such as userscripts.org, metak (mentioned before), etc…

I’ve just stumbled upon best Serbian Web 2.0 Application yet- Metak (Bullet in English) translator, free engine for online translation of words (that’s what the translators are all for) from Serbian to English and vice-versa. At first I thought it was just yet-another-translator, but with first letter that I typed, it was all different… Something like Google suggest happened in a flash, and with every letter typed, selection was narrowing, until I’ve got my word… fast as a bullet… This is great, and this goes straight to my bookmarks…
