MySQL UC2006 preview: Technorati: Scaling the Real Time web (Dorion Carroll)

I promised I would start posting some previews of what we’re selecting for our next users conference.

The first selected session to tell you about is Technorati, which indexes the real time web (blogs/news) and operates on a “never delete anything” basis. You can just imagine what the consequences of this are 😉

I actually kind-of already preselected this talk during the 2005 users conference, and this is because of the speaker: Dorion Carroll, Senior Engineer at Technorati. He really stuck out in the “Scaling and High Availability” panel, showing off excellent speaking and presentation skills. So after this panel session, I “told” Dorion straight away that we would definitely want him to speak at the next conference… so here we are! 😉

More previews to come!
