Learning from Livejournal

Yesterday, thanks to a pointer on slashdot, I read bradfitz‘s explanation of the architecture of livejournal. I knew I wasn’t wasting time reading LiveJournal. Rather, I’ve simply  been experimenting with large scale, high traffic applications of open-source replicated back-end databases. This has direct application to the advice I give.

[ellipticcurve‘s comment, when I mentioned the above, was “Boy, you’re good.” Its all a matter of presentation ;-)> ]

P.S.: I hope folks enjoyed my icon meme.
