After only one day there is single digit traffic on the most recent posts.
Videos that have been out for 5 days have 10 - 20 views.
One video that got up sooner and has more traffic is Matt Stansberry interviewing Gary Cook with 186 views, 187 now that I watched it.
If you are going to post content most of time speed beats quality.
Steve Jobs gave his iCloud keynote http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/11piubpwiqubf06/event/
at minute 115:00 you can see Steve Jobs compare Apple, Amazon, and Google cost of music cloud services.
To make the point Apple is committed to iCloud he makes the point Apple is serious about data centers. Steve discusses its 3rd data center in Maiden, NC at minute 116:00.
Steve says this data center is as eco friendly as a data center can be with modern technology.
Steve is a great show man as usual and wows people showing the scale of the building.
and points to two dots on the roof that are actually people, getting laughs from the crowd. When is the last time you heard someone laugh when they talk about the scale of their data center.
"Full of stuff. expensive stuff." More laughs. Who would ever call millions of dollars of IT equipment stuff? You won't see Jobs calling an iPhone, iPod, or iPad stuff. Do you think he is making fun of the other stuff he doesn't make?
It's been over 20 years since I worked at WWDC as an Apple employee, and never would have thought Steve Jobs would be talking about data centers. A lot has changed in 20 years. Wow 20 years, and there are people I know that have been there the whole time. This video was probably some of the first pictures they've seen of their mothership data center in Maiden, NC.
Many think of hydro-electric as cheap clean energy. The Elwha dam after 100 years is about to start the largest dam removal project in the US on Sept 17, 2011.
This PDF shows the dam removal process.
June 1, 2011 was the ceremony to turn off the power.

PORT ANGELES,
Clallam County —
The end of an era arrived Wednesday with the final shutdown of two dams on the Elwha River.
The dams were unplugged from the Western power grid and their mighty turbines stilled, in preparation for taking both dams down beginning in September.
"We are cutting the heart out of these old girls," said Kevin Yancy, manager of the Elwha hydroelectric project for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. But their time, he acknowledged, has passed, after nearly a century of generating power that fueled development of the Olympic Peninsula.
My post on May 24 on Google's Hamina Data Center gave me a nice pop in traffic.
Curious how well my post works I have been checking Google Search "Google Hamina Data Center"
My browser is not signed in to Google so the results are not skewed based on Google customization.
Here are the current top 6 search results. With my post #5.
CNET news had an article making the point that Chrome is used by 1 out of 8 Internet users. But I knew the GreenM3 visitors are different and there was a much higher use of Chrome, 22.3%.
One out of eight people now use Chrome
Chrome is still the third-ranked browser in terms of worldwide usage, but its share is steadily climbing.

Chrome is now used by one out of every eight people on the Internet, new statistics show, but Microsoft's newest browser is showing signs of steady growth, too.
Specifically, Chrome usage increased from 11.9 percent in April to 12.5 percent in May, according to statistics released today by Net Applications. The company bases its measurements on population-adjusted measurements of visitors to Web sites using its analytics tools.
Here is another interesting part of the GreenM3 visitors. The #1 browser is Firefox - 30.9%. #2 is IE 28.6%. #3 is Chrome 22.3%, and #4 is Safari with 14.4%.
One year ago IE was #1 with 38.7%, then Firefox and Chrome.
Here is the OS breakdown for the May 2011. I am surprised the amount of users who are using iPhone, iPad and Android.
