For something different I posted the Google's Seven years of data center history on GigaOm. Why? Because I thought it was a good story to tell and the reach would be much broader on GigaOm vs. this blog. The GigaOm post went up yesterday afternoon and the post made it to the home page.

I got a nice bump in traffic. Here is what I have so far as of 9a PT. Note: the traffic for today should be much higher as the day progresses as only 9 of 24 hrs are shown.

During the 7×24 Exchange conference today in Phoenix, Joe Kava, the VP of data centers for Google, delivered a presentation giving an intimate look at how the company's data-center strategy has evolved, according to a GigOm report. Kava began his presentation with a seven-year timeline of Google's data-center history that showed the progression of the search giant's strategy.
