Unless Digg cannot roll out new features due to Cassandra (eg: a) Cassandra woes taking all dev team time, or b) tech limitations prevent features) it seems highly unlikely that cassandra is the reason why Digg 4 is grating with users initially.
It's a change of features/product rather than technology that is the problem.
- enjo 16y agoI think the folks at Digg where prepared for the heartburn associated with the content changes. They weren't ready for some very serious issues with the implementation. Digg has definitely seen a lot of downtime over the last week or two.
- mikeryan 16y agoDigg has had some significant downtime during this transition (Can't blame Cassandra - but can't clear it either). Issues with product features are one thing - but nothing probably got more people jumping to a different ship (reddit) then not being able to find a good lolcat when you're bored, and your favorite news aggregator is down. Hmm - I wonder if fark has seen the same uptick as reddit has.
