MySQL Powering Web 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The MySQL open source database has become the database-of-choice for
| the new generation of highly-popular Internet companies pioneering new "Web
| 2.0" innovation. Leading Web 2.0 sites such as YouTube, Flickr, Habbo
| Hotel, Linden Labs, CyWorld, Technorati, Facebook, FeedBurner, Feedster,
| Wikipedia, Digg, LiveJournal, Mixi.jp, SimpleStar, PhotoBucket,
| 37signals, del.icio.us, Trulia, Neopets, and Zimbra have all selected
| MySQL to power their explosive growth -- due to the database's speed
| and ability to easily ?scale-out? on low-cost hardware.
|
| "Without the LAMP software stack, many Web 2.0 companies would have never
| got off the ground,? says Tim O'Reilly, the alpha geek watcher and CEO
| of O'Reilly Media. LAMP is the acronym for the popular open source
| computing environment that comprises the Linux operating system, Apache
| Web server, MySQL database and Perl, Python or PHP scripting languages.
