Hi Stephen I am seriously considering to build my application on graph database but i read about facebook, digg and linkedin use Key/value database. Why dont they use graph database? What is the differences between Key/Value and graph databases. And i am using .Net Framework 4.0 for my application. There is not too much thing about .Net, tutorial,samples etc. There are some library for .net ,Neo4RestNet,Neo4jRestSharp. Which one should i use and can i develop strong application with this library?

For photos and certain other media, it probably makes more sense to store them on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) with references to them (and their metadata) only in your graph database. You can certainly mix and match databases and I think that's the future of web applications. But if you're starting from scratch I'd suggest putting everything into the graph database. For pictures, I'd consider Amazon's S3 from the get go, and you can later migrate to CloudFront if necessary. Would love to hear alternate views.
