Good write up, Nathan. Nonetheless, you started by saying you were going to challenge the basic assumptions of how data systems should be built, but the resulting system architecture is in fact very similar to a lot of data streaming system

I took a look at the area that I am familiar with (database). If you'd like to gain more understanding about the area, it's probably better to look at required reading list from Berkeley and Stanford. (Note that the Berkeley list is longer.

Couple things that impressed me ... - Results are returned instantly. - The heat map idea, coupled with draggable area, is pretty cool. Nice to see more competition and innovation in hotel search.

They are recruiting people to improve the app engine infrastructure, which is probably mostly written in Java.

I can't agree with you more. I don't understand why people are asking about all kinds of "apps" for tablets. In fact, the best app is really the browser given the screen size of the tablets. (Of course, this still doesn't give you some of t

Facebook certainly doesn't allow you to download all the logs about you that they collect. The amount of logs they collect about you are huge, and those are the true valuable data (rather than the pictures you've uploaded).
