Exclusive: Facebook to Offer Data Storage
- gojomo 19y agoTFA is credulous and deceptive. Can something be an 'exclusive' if it's been on a well-trafficked wiki for over a month? Also, if they'd looked closely, by 'data store' Facebook mean a loose database of objects (consisting of key-value properties) and typed object associations. That's very very interesting, but not as a bulk data drop competing with S3, which is how it's spun. I mean, you could fragment and base64 your photos into the 64K text blob properties offered by this 'Data Store', but that's clearly not its design goal.
