I just read a blog about these new databases like simpledb. This line
got me curious:
<blockquote>
Think of all the applications you didn’t know you could develop
before you saw a demo of AJAX. Think how you designed Web apps back
them, and how you design them today. The same thing is going to happen
with your database.
</blockquote>
Has anybody in our group played around with these? If so, want to do
a talk? Could make for a good discussion.
Here's the blog:
