"It all started when an anonymous user added the millionth tag to Tggr.net, a new site dedicated to add tags to tags. Still in Beta, the site wasn’t able to cope with displaying such a huge tag cloud, triggering its self-destruction."

You should write an anticipation book. I am sure it will have success! And I will translate it in French!

Joke or no joke but imagine if that really did happen?

You have to build so it scales, period!

I wish I knew, I'm sure there are a lot of sources inspiring this stuff subconsciously, only I don't always consciously know. All I can tell you in this case is that I saw the video a while ago, but wasn't consciously thinking of it. I'm sure everything (?) we write is inspired by multiple other stuff, sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously, used directly, or indirectly, mixed & mashed and so on...

I LOL'ed. Good show, sir! The Youtube bit at the end was a nice touch, but somehow, I believe Orkut would have survived due to the combined efforts of the governments of India and Brazil. It's impressive what a high quality localization will do for an average product.

The Onion News Network link was funny too.

But why was that guy using Outlook (yuck!) as his old-school desktop mail client, instead of a more decent one like Thunderbird, given that he was discerning enough to use Firefox as his browser?
