Yup, thanks mike, I couldn't agree more. Facebook is just awesome. I only really asked about myspace because I know they are a microsoft shop and therefore another website that is MS technology based using memcache would help just as much. Thinking on it now I should have posed the question: What MS Tech based companies are using memcache?
<br><br>I love memcached myself, it is so easy and powerful. And yes I appreciate Steve's posts about Facebook and how they are using memcached, the information is very helpful.<br><br>I've got the win32 binaries working with the .NET client tools from the danga website. It all looks to work just as good as the *nix versions, does anyone have any experiences to the contrary?
<br><br>thanks again!<br>Kevin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">mike</b> <<a href="mailto:mike503@gmail.com">mike503@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
