John Carmack tweeted something that made me noodle on this too:
>It is amusing to consider how much of the world you could serve something like Twitter to from a single beefy server if it really was just shuffling tweet sized buffers to network offload cards. Smart clients instead of web pages could make a very large difference. [1]
Very interesting to see the idea worked out in more detail.
