We run a local news site godaddy handles just our email and dns. Our server is elsewhere. We went black for about 3 hours due to DNS. Has anyone heard a guess on how many sites were affected because of this? Hundreds of thousands?
Why even try to limit the roll-out to third world countries. Just let market economics drive down the price! Who knows if they sold these by Tens of Millions the price would probably drop down under the $50 barrier. Think of the Halo effect this might have! Having a full function computer at the price of a bargin basement cell phone.
We run a local news site and I can think of lots of ways we could run promotions to "Give" them away!

How can we learn from this to make our sites better. Can we translate this type of activity to the 30+ crowd instead of just the teens?
