This post about how Friend Feed is using schema-less storage for most of their work is fascinating. In the ALT.Net Seattle there was a session about that, which generated a lot of interest.

My next post will have more details about the actual implementation details of doing something like that in a manner easily accessible in .Net, but just reading the post is very interesting. Another item that I found that was an interesting read, although it is far harder to read is: http://highscalability.com/how-i-learned-stop-worrying-and-love-using-lot-disk-space-scale
