Hi, I have a plan to do this scenario using PHP and Memcached on my Social Networking project, please correct me if I'm wrong :
just like any other social networking site out there, mostly users just 'read' database content, instead of 'writing' it. right? so, I have a plan to 'read' EVERYTHING from the database once the user login (session created), such as : number of friends, birth date, today friend's post, etc then store it into Memcached server. unless the user logged out or click 'yesterday friend's post', user won't read the database again but read all the data from Memcached. maybe it will act like Gmail, user will see loading bar when they login into their account. but once they have it, everything runs faster. is this possible thing to do with Memcached?
