Twitter Architectural Issues

disclaimer: First I want to give a huge load of thanks to the good folks over at infoQ for being so completely awesome.  They have an amazing site structure and great content along with it.  I felt like a kid in a candy store when I first stumbled onto their site from Spring’s home page.  That being said, I’m going to be making my way through 20+ articles/interviews they’ve done previously and responding in kind with summaries, gleaned factoids, and responses.

I just read infoQ’s Architecting Twitter article.
