  • Measure the right thing.

    - People ask about how many IMs do you deliver or how many active users. Turns out not to be the right engineering question.

    - Hard part of IM is how to show correct present to all connected users because growth is non-linear: ConnectedUsers * BuddyListSize * OnlineStateChanges

    - A linear user grown can mean a very non-linear server growth which requires serving many billions of presence packets per day.

    - Have a large number friends and presence explodes. The number IMs not that

    big of deal.
