>> On demand or some out-of-band process? I believe it is on demand, because if you pull up an article that I dont have it, it will retrieve it from wikipedia and then we pound/process it into a timeline, which consists of 15 or so databases.
Then it is displayed. Takes 60 seconds or so. It really is sort of amazing... What is a "out-of-band process"?
