-----From Scott -----
I think the problem people are having (me included) is that you make comments
like 'MySPace is running BD.NET', without qualifying that the migration is in
progress and that, by your own admission, is running on a minority of servers,
until someone calls you out or speaks ill of you, New Atlanta or BD.NET
One has to wonder, why all the chest thumping?

Facts:
- Myspace is the #5 most trafficked site on the internet, recently overtaking
Google (April) and Hotmail (May), and is poised to overtake AOL and EBay.
- Myspace is the #1 most trafficked site on the internet using CFML.
- MySpace is one of the most popular and fastest growing destinations on the
internet.
Strategic Truths:
- MySpace chose .NET as their strategic platform.
- MySpace thoroughly tested BlueDragon - on their most demanding applications -
even in their production environment. BlueDragon performance was superior to
ColdFusion.
- MySpace chose BlueDragon as a strategic part of their infrastructure.
- MySpace chose BlueDragon primarily based on superior performance and native
support for .NET.
- MySpace is removing ColdFusion. ColdFusion is not strategic part of their
infrastructure.
Tactical Minutiae:
MySpace is so busy managing a wildly successful and growing business that many
tasks â including the general transition to a .NET-based architecture
(including BlueDragon) has taken longer than originally anticipated.
MySpace has not yet transitioned all servers to BlueDragon.
MySpace is getting excellent support from New Atlanta throughout the transition.
All of the above statements were made within the first week of the initial
announcement at CFUnited.
Some people have questioned (and in some cases mischaracterized):
the usefulness of the MySpace website;
the architecture of the MySpace website;
the popularity of the MySpace website;
the Media Metrix ranking by ComScore;
the measure of performance of BlueDragon relative to ColdFusion;
the coding and deployment practices at MySpace;
the high levels of CFML compatibility MySpace experienced with BlueDragon;
the current deployed status of BlueDragon throughout the MySpace server farms.
The discussion has been great publicity, and by keeping this landmark win for
New Atlanta on the minds of many indicates we were right to make the
announcement at CFUnited. â¦And through it all, one thing still remains true:
MySpace chose BlueDragon to power their website.
The facts and strategic truths listed above are impervious to any tactical
minutiae, question or even mischaracterization.
Regards,
Dan
