I will check out 10Gen and perhaps write a blog post about it some day soon. Keep up the great work! @Shane,

The first languages we support are JavaScript, Ruby and Python. 10gen's external URL request limit is a much more reasonable 10 seconds. 10gen doesn't restrict you to Google's mail facility. Your one concern that we're not all over is about MySQL. 10gen has its own database - MongoDB. It's a document database - somewhat along the lines of BigTable. We've found that relational databases have a tough time scaling, and built MongoDB specifically to address that. But best of all - 10gen is Open Source. You're not going to be locked in to a vendor. You're free to take the code and modify it, change it, and make it better. I'm excited about what we're doing here and hope you can help get the word out. We'd love to get more developers and people trying it out and helping us bang on it. Our SDK is available on our website (http://www.10gen.com/) and we're offering free hosting for people to try things out. We're in early alpha and would love feedback! If you or anyone else wants more info, you can contact me at shane at 10gen.com, or look me up on Twitter at http://twitter.com/shanebrauner Shane Brauner Hi Ross,

I’ve got some good news for you. 10gen addresses all but one of your concerns you list above.

10gen offers multi language support. The first languages we support are JavaScript, Ruby and Python.

10gen’s external URL request limit is a much more reasonable 10 seconds.

10gen doesn’t restrict you to Google’s mail facility.

Your one concern that we’re not all over is about MySQL. 10gen has its own database – MongoDB. It’s a document database – somewhat along the lines of BigTable. We’ve found that relational databases have a tough time scaling, and built MongoDB specifically to address that.

But best of all – 10gen is Open Source. You’re not going to be locked in to a vendor. You’re free to take the code and modify it, change it, and make it better.

I’m excited about what we’re doing here and hope you can help get the word out. We’d love to get more developers and people trying it out and helping us bang on it.
