More Mapping of the Net

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-see dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say"It turns out that famous map was not the end of it, a cybergeography alert linked to this site with lots of cool pictures and animations. Turns out they didn't measure time between hosts on the poster map, and it can be used to make cool pix!"

    What about a slashdot cache similar to the Google cache. Before things are posted on /. they automatically get cached and hosted on /. (which can handle *a lot* of traffic.

      that idea was answered in the slashdot FAQ, basically they dont do that because they would have to get the permission of the authors, and would be at risk for copyright violation and so on and they'd have to be worried about keeping the cache up to date.. so they just link to it..

      also they dont cache it because some of the site owners earn money by people seeing the site so the cache would take money away from them.. you know those dorky banner ads actually do make money when people see them so thats why a cache is also a bad idea.. they need to make money.

    Works now. Although the server is obviusly feeling the strain of the slashdot effect.

    I'm kind of curious on how google cache works. Would it be possible for slashdot to add these websites to the cache before the story is posted?

    One could set up an account with a script that would auto mirror the site when it recived an email. I'm sure someone here could set that up. The script could then respond once/if it successfully mirrored the site and those links could be posted in the story

    I think I saw somewhere before posting it something like "Use the Preview Button! Check those URLs! Don't forget the http://!".
    Or maybe I saw "You should have used the preview button" after posting...

    Nevermind... it's already done.
