I understand what Lorell means - the web 2.0 scaling model is to throw resources, rather than intelligence at your bottlenecks.
I met some 'web 2' people at a conference quite recently, and they were telling me their platform scales because they can keep throwing servers at a cluster and performance increases. Problem is that it needs to scale early, and scale often. I asked if any of them understood the power requirements of a typical server, whether they'd heard of the power constraints in the datacentres that they'd all heard of, and how this model affected their new company's OSS costs long-term, and none of them knew.
Scaling meant something else when I was solving these problems for the first time.
