George Stephanis Alec: George, more than half of what Jetpack does on the Cloud could be done locally. This includes Related Posts, Contact Forms, Publicize and Enhanced Distribution. Did you even read my comment? Related Posts, Publicize, and Enhanced Distribution are completely dependent on the cloud infrastructure of WordPress.com. I detailed precisely how, if you had taken the time to actually read it. Related Posts is based off the WordPress.com Elasticsearch instance, which preforms the latent semantic analysis to find related content. You can’t do this without an Elasticsearch index. Publicize uses third-party API keys stored on WordPress.com to push new posts to Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn, and other authenticated services. Enhanced Distribution lets the WordPress.com servers automatically submit your content to Google and other web indexes as soon as it’s published to get your site found. Related posts /can/ be done via complex MySQL queries based purely on taxonomies locally, but that’s far more taxing on local webservers, and outsourcing it to WordPress.com’s Elasticsearch index lets us reindex on the fly as new posts are published and have the much added benefit of using Latent Semantic Analysis — which looks at the actual content of the posts, and find related content, instead of basing it purely off common taxonomies. Much, much easier for legacy sites to migrate to. Why are you so eager to ascribe ulterior motives to people? I’m really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume that there’s just some misunderstanding, but with the dogged determination that you seem to have to misconstrue every good act as a knife in disguise, it’s getting hard to believe that this is something other than a personal grudge against Automattic for some unknown slight.
