   You’ve got PETRABYTES on the image (amount of data stored by sector).

   Pretty excellent information! Keep up at it!

   I would be embarassed to show this to my friends. It is Petabyte, not Petrabyte.

   Always thought it was PETABYTE, not PETRABYTE.

   Yup, Get Satisfaction and Column Five Media spelled petabyte wrong and we reposted the infographic… I do think we can look past that at the other interesting data presented here though!

    Too bad the type in this ‘info-effing-graphic’ is unreadable. I bet it would be interesting.

    It is interesting, but really, you should go back to the people that produced it and correct the “spelling” error which isn’t just in a single place. “Petrabyte” is littered throughout which leads me to think the person that wrote it believes that is the spelling.

    You’re right it isn’t the end of the world, but you’re presenting it and it is a reflection on you.

    You should write case-study, something like “How to make people comment and link your article, with just 1 typo”:)
