A super interesting blog post by Greg Linden details a Googler keynote address that presents some staggering statistics.

Staggering statistic #1: Google uses 1,000 machines per search query. This is what makes Google fast.

Staggering statistic #2: Google crawls the Web—all of it, what used to take months—in nearly real time.

Staggering statistic #3: Google’s machine translation models use a million lookups and multi terabytes to translate one sentence

Sometimes good ideas are way overdue. PMSBuddy.com allows people to set up online reminders about that time of the month.

Other than the fact they have a way to add it to your facebook profile, that’s all I have to say about it because I’ve learned to keep my big, insensitive mouth shut.

Here’s the pitch: “we will not only keep you informed, but will give you some free advice on what to do about it. With PMSBuddy.com, there is no reason to ever be blindsided by PMS again.”

If you know what’s good for you, you’ll check it out. Cheers.
