I am concerend about two issues.
1-The lack of static IP
2-The problem with sending email and messages easily from the site (we are a collaboration site and create a lot of internal emails).
Does anybody have first had experience with these issues?

Too bad it didn’t reference one of the all time classics — Butler Lampson’s “Hints for Computer Systems Design”. Must read article (get it here: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/blampson/33-Hints/Abstract.html).

Note that language choice can help with a lot of this — that’s why we’re using Scala/Lift for Innovation Games(R) online.

Peneberg’s book “Viral Loop,” but Friendster failed to scale and the cost was enormous. Gigaom [...]

My former employed made ALL of these mistakes, and it’s costing them dollars and customers.

I run a blog about scalability issues, check it out at http://www.roadtofailure.com : I have articles such as “Social Media Kills the Database” :)
