Google's Pageranking Explained 127
bluegreenone writes "Google has a new page up about some of their proprietary search technology. Looks like Teoma's bid to outdo Google may be harder than they initially thought." It's an interesting
technique, and definitely a lot harder for competitors to duplicate than I would
have originally thought.

The new Pigeon Packets (RFC 999421-B) use a new form of CRC to help ensure accurate package delivery. Unlike Ethernet and Token-Ring however, these packages are left in the area after mistaken delivery, and must be periodically cleaned.
The biggest problem stems from packet storms...

This just proves Teoma is doomed. . . (Score:5, Funny)
Further, pigeons have consistently been shown to outperform humans in search engine environments, and though no direct pigeon/monkey benchmarks have been performed, monkeys suffer from many of the same limitations which bottleneck human performance. They're more expensive to maintain, they crash frequently during mating season, and pigeons are completely immune to the feces-hurling problems found in all monkey clusters (and a few human ones).
Finally, TCO for a twelve-bird cluster is actually *less* than that for a single monkey. Teoma isn't going to be able to scale their system without a massive influx of cash and bananas.
Man, doesn't *anybody* read the articles?
