That's exactly why Google and Microsoft are building datacenters all over the world. It's also why I chose Rackspace as the host for one of my current projects - I can host the application either here in San Antonio, or in England (other locations to come maybe later this year). Ideally the data is distributed to various geographical location and the customer hits the server that is closest to them. Sounds easy enough - it isn't :) As for Lagesse.org - yeah, I would expect it to be slow for you. It's running off a cable modem, so the upload speeds are very slow (1 Megabits per second). Take care of yourself, Yuvi! Rob Yuvi – good point about Geography. That’s exactly why Google and Microsoft are building datacenters all over the world.

Zooomr's dead slow in here as well. Lagesse.org used to be, but is now back fast. Distributed servers, web 3.0, IT 3.0, backends... Well, maybe I should consider learning Windows administration once my right hand heals afterall :D Geography is a good part of the equation as well: Twitter is unusable for me in every interface except the distributed jabber based one (GTalk).
