More website like DIGG and TWITTER would like to replace MySQL and most of their infrastructure components and move away from LAMP to another architecture called NoSQL that is based in Casandra, an opensource project that develops a highly scalable second-generation distributed database. Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008 and is licencied under Apache Licenses.

The reason of this move as explained in digg blog is that their primary motivation for moving away from MySQL was the increasing difficulty of building a high performance, write intensive, application on a data set that is growing quickly, with no end in sight. This growth has forced them into horizontal and vertical partitioning strategies that have eliminated most of the value of a relational database, while still incurring all the overhead.

Cassandra is a distributed database with a BigTable data model running on a Dynamo like infrastructure. It is column-oriented and allows for the storage of relatively structured data. It has a fully decentralized model; every node is identical and there is no single point of failure. It’s also extremely fault tolerant; data is replicated to multiple nodes and across data centers. Cassandra is also very elastic; read and write throughput increase linearly as new machines are added.

Casandra is in use at Rackspace, Digg, Facebook, Twitter, Cisco, Mahalo, Ooyala, and more companies that have large, active data sets. The largest production cluster has over 100 TB of data in over 150 machines.

Our SourceCMS (Content Management System) will keep on evaluate how to get use the NoSQL.

There are few core strategies for expanding your business on the web.

* Generating Leads and Traffic: bringing people to your core web presence
* Conversion: converting website visitors into prospects by opting-in for more information
* Website Sticky Items: These keep people coming back to your sites time and time again

The social media sites, search engines and your syndicate bring leads to your core web presence. Once they get there, it is important to convert them into prospects immediately, but you will probably never reach a 100% conversion rate. Note that 5-10% visitor opt-in conversion is considered very high. Finally, creating “sticky items” to keep people coming back to your site helps get the missed first time visitors to convert on another visit so that you will have several chances at creating the conversion.

Each of these strategies is interlaced with everything you do online, in person and through every point of contact that makes up your overall brand.
