| This is how it came to be: Inside the Google Headquarters: Marketing/Finance Guy: Hey we need "live" search, its hot right now! Tech Guy: Go buy twitter! MG: Are you crazy we're in a recession, we don't have the money. TG: Ok I have this old new-way-of-doing-email sideproject, that was kind of "live". MG: Great, can you make it even more "live"? TG: (sarcastic)Well the users could see each other typing. MG: (exited) Great! Make it so! TG: (concerned) That would kill our server if we ever released it. MG: Don't worry we wont release it, just prepare a demo. TG: And if we eventually release it? MG: We make it Open Source, so somebody else will run it and their servers will crash. |
