I haven't directly compared power and heat but the 785's mentioned in Jeff's post have 6 power supplies and are 7u. I doubt you would put more than two in a cabinet.

The ability to work offline is as relevant as postal mail. Now is the ability to work mobile.

I can't say anything about the distributed, fault tolerant point but I speculate the same guys that wrote the DNS rfc wrote the NNTP rfc.

Search is way better on twitter and friendfeed. It is a real time pulse of what is going on in the world. Real time is the key imo. Usenet can't do that by design.

I have have to disagree with the tools thing too. It is way too easy to post to twitter or facebook. There even used to be a voice to text telephone number you could use.

Don't get me wrong. I like the usenet and it works well but so did the pony express.

Do you have any idea if ec2 is just ESX server or something proprietary?

Well then he obviously doesn't get it. Oracle on ec2 is not a cloud database. It is basically shared database hosting.
