- edoceo 7y agoP2P it is then!
- CodeWriter23 7y agoYes, Search could use some Bittorrent-like disruption.
- MR4D 7y agoI wonder though - is too much of the P2P universe now mobile devices instead of regular computers that it wouldn’t be feasible?
- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoP2P can be done on mobile but you're fighting against limited resources (storage, bandwidth, CPU). The reason P2P got good on PC is because storage got cheaper, bandwidth was increasing and CPUs kept getting faster.
- MR4D 7y agoRight. So texting on P2P is easy and appropriate, but I can’t see how building a search engine on P2P would really work well given those limited resources.
- mythrwy 7y agoIt's important enough, and currently wastes enough of my time (read: SEO crap, Medium and Reddit are top results for... everything) that I'd happily pay for a good search engine!
