Google Data Center Watching

October 4, 2007 – 7:30 am

I noticed there are still a few people out there watching Google Data Centers. I thought this practice had basically disappeared in the past. I’m sure old habits die hard, so that’s the main reason people do it. It’s very entertaining to watch. People actually start “rooting” for the data center that has their favorite results (their website at the top).

For entertainment purposes, I can’t see anything wrong with Google Data Center Watching, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a good use of time. You may be able to learn something, but more often than not, the changes seem to come and then go again, without spreading to the data centers that are actually serving queries.

I’m thinking that this one more past-time that will probably sink into the murky past soon enough. But I guess I could be wrong.

Do you like watching DCs?
