Love the analogy at the end, but how is this on the front page. I was hoping for some technical information and got nothing.
Oh no, the happy part of the internet got in! Get this off the front page!
Yeah, uh, I love Redis too, but this is silly promotional fluff and nothing we haven't heard before about Redis.
You people can't seriously disagree with me on this one can you? Is Redis-to-Go a YC company or something?
Let's not mistake entertaining with fluffy. If you want benchmarks, redis.io already has that pretty well covered. Everything I've read about redis made me think of it as either a database or a replacement for memcache, but it's be helpful to think about it as something more abstract. The scratchpad idea is something I hadn't heard, and seemed worth sharing.
Where's the attitude and negativity coming from? Far from being "heretohelp", you're being unconstructive and frankly, a dick.
