Also...the algorithms used to identify priority email will probably be used to identify priority ads...possibly increasing clickthro's.

The spam filters rely on the feedback of hundreds of millions of users ...obviously the priority email filters cannot do so.

If Google can identify the emails that are important, the ads displayed will probably be more relevant as well.

Over 500 mirrors now. The actual process appears very easy: http://wikileaks.ch/mass-mirror.html

It may have the exact opposite effect - people who would not have otherwise donated (or paid attention) to Wikileaks might do so just to give their censoring overlords the proverbial finger. It also highlights the need for alternatives to American providers.

.onion? AlterNIC? (defunct) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlterNIC

Well actually...Chrome is based on Linux and so are the Google servers. I have seen a number of large organizations running mission-critical applications via the browser (accessed via intranet). This approach makes updates and backups easier (and therefore less expensive).

I have not logged into Facebook for over 2 months. My friends have not noticed. When I first started using Facebook I found it addictive...tracking down people I had not seen in years was fun. Until I realised that there was a reason I had not bothered to keep in contact with these people in the first place (sad but true). Facebook is a walled garden...a big one...but still a walled garden. It cannot match the richness and depth of the wild web. Sooner or later the web will catch up and it will be easy to track / follow / subscribe to people across different sites without having to use a central gatekeeper site.

Sounds like the Soviet approach to getting things done...you must be American!

better question...what are THEIR IP addresses :)
