What a terrible article.
> Oracle and Redis are examples of traditional, spatial database environments.
Redis is traditional? Redis is spatial? What are they talking about?
> Spaccebase is an in-memory technology, which is how it can be so fast. Thats’ what truly separates it from the rest. It tracks not when or what happened but where it occurred. And that all occurs in-memory. It’s like any application that runs this way. It’s very fast in getting data. In this case, we are talking about spatial data.
This entire paragraph is ridiculous. Just a bunch of buzz words repeated ad nauseum. What database does not use "in-memory" technology? I guess that's why "it's like any application that runs this way". Yeah, and French cuisine is like any food that's cooked that way.
- dmix 14y agoYet we still link to TC articles... YC startups always launch on Techcrunch and top HN within an hour. Is there not a better place?
- Ogre 14y agoIn this case, a direct link to the site (http://paralleluniverse.co/ http://paralleluniverse.co/) would be better. There is actual information there. To be fair, the first two words of the TC article were a link to the site. Signal to Noise over the first couple words of that article is quite high!
- JPKab 14y agoI remember years ago when a commenter on Techcrunch bashed an article and called Techcrunch "the special olympics of tech journalism." At the time, I thought it was an insult to Techcrunch. Now I realize it's an insult to the fine athletes of the Special Olympics.

- etherealG 14y agocouldn't agree more, anyone know what the cutoff is for getting a down vote button on posts!
- samstokes 14y agoI also enjoyed: > It’s the NOSQL capabilities that makes this so interesting. A NOSQL database is designed for big data. Still, glad to see the HN comments here provide the perspective and analysis that TC couldn't.
- JPKab 14y agoLol. I shudder whenever a Techcrunch writer starts throwing around the term "NoSQL", as if NoSQL automatically makes something fast....... Attention buzzword slinging pseudo-technologist journalists: NoSQL is a term which describes what something ISN'T, not what it is.
- ricardobeat 14y agoMaybe they meant MongoDB, which has spatial queries and doesn't live in memory?
