I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of re-arranging your table according to the "diagonalisaton" ideas of the late Jacques Bertin. The idea is to show which categories differ most from each other by putting their most distinct properties in opposite corners.

Note that Google+ is currently fine in the DDoS area but it's also brand spankin' new and -- presumably -- supported by extremely massive server bandwidth that probably makes LJ's look like my home line's capability. If Google+ DOES take off and become something on FB's level, I wouldn't be surprised to see DDoS attacks start up.

Yeah, it's just meant as a snapshot of now, really. I expect Google have a lot of knowhow and good ways of routing around DDOS attacks - I can't imagine their search engine isn't a target. I would expect issues, but think it's probably more robust and able to take them better than LJ can and probably better than Facebook too.

Don't mind at all. Glad it's sparked interest.

Hmmm, looks like LJ won't allow inline CSS in comments. Maybe that should be a line in the matrix!

Thanks. Some people get annoyed when I "improve" their work.
