[erlang-questions] Twoorl: an open source Twitter clone

[Yariv Sadan]

Facebook runs on MySQL -- that's pretty scalable :)

The main reason I didn't go with Mnesia for storing most data is the
dets issues discussed previously on this list (specifically, the long
repair times and the need for fragmentation over 4gb). I use Mnesia
for storing session data though.
