Win the Google Contest, Get Cash, and Handle your Load
So Google is running kind of an interesting promotion, as discussed at length on the blogosphere today:
- $5000 to a widget that gets 250K views/week
- $100K for building a business around Google
Full details are here on Google
Want to make some money with your cool widget? Go for it! This also raises those interesting questions that all those Facebook app developers are having to answer: how do you handle all the load when you actually manage to build the super-successful viral application/component and all of a sudden are dealing with a huge server need?One thing you can be sure of is that we won’t slow you down — we’ve got the best back-end in the business, folks. Seriously, our team is crazy good (not me, mind you, but the folks that actually do the work), and our scalability is one of the things that lands us those big content provider deals. Go forth and multiply!
