The public web is only a few hundred terabytes?

To put things in perspective, I have about 6 terabytes of storage in my house.

Thank you for posting this, Daffynition. I forwarded it to my daughters. They might be able to make use of it in what they for work. They’ve been able to use info supplied by FReepers on a couple of occasions.

> ...the Library of Congress, in 1997, was figured to have close to 3,000 terabytes!

Oh, really???

The source that (mistaken) claim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Web#cite_note-2) is based on disagrees:

http://www.lesk.com/mlesk/ksg97/ksg.html

That says it was 20 TB, not 3000 TB.

Or am I reading this wrong?

Great list, thanks.

Here’s another that will get you going: http://www.wolframalpha.com/

It not only digs out the info, but can figure out the right answer. Go hit the link for Stephen Wolfram’s Info, it’s a 13 minute video that shows the power W|A has under the covers.

Maybe I missed something, but how do these search engines access private networks?

Interesting, but the phrase is ‘mother lode’, not ‘load’.
