Yes! That's the same stuff I've been smelling. I look at stuff like documents Google has published and Hadoop and I do think to myself that map-reduce and some of the massively distributed stuff could potentially teach RDBMs some new tricks. Then I see these articles and they're all about someone converting a blog from MySQL to MongoDB. I'd love to see the technical details of how Digg used MySQL, why it was slow and why NoSQL is better, how they use it. The more of this I see and the less real information the more I think they didn't know what they were doing in the first place.
