I'm only here for the HighScalability:

- @debuggist: Scalability trumps politics.
- @cagedether: Hype of #Hadoop is driving pressure on people to keep everything
- @nanreh: My MongoDB t shirt has never helped me get laid. This is typical with #nosql databases.

Supposedly the benefit will be cheap computing, but when has a cartel ever lead to cheap anything?
