Are you for real?
I'm guessing you caught that sarcasm, but for anybody who is unaware - he's the one who made threewords.me
Oh, I caught it, but it is still a valid question :)
Hehe, nah. I want to try other viral experiments, though. That I'm actually on :)
Good to hear, but I am curious.

When threewords went viral, you were using a single linode, and seemed to solve your scaling problems by just upgrading to a larger node and implementing a bit of caching. What have you learned and what would you do differently this time?
