Actually, that's useful in a couple ways. Not only is it easy to do, but |
| 15 |
I'd guess there's a fair chance Google could be talked into some sort of |
| 16 |
sponsorship, in exchange for a 'Search by Google", which at the same time |
| 17 |
will serve as the disclosure of who it's piped thru. As someone (you?) |
| 18 |
mentioned earlier, letting Google do all the hard work means it's both |
| 19 |
easy implementation, and easy on our hardware since it's just passing thru |
| 20 |
to Google. If we can finagle a box or two (or mirroring, hardware and |
| 21 |
bandwidth and benefitting from their connectivity!, directly located at |
| 22 |
two or more Google locations worldwide) out of the deal as well, that's |
| 23 |
even better! |
