For my startup I use MySQL although these days I'm checking out alternative DBs. But based on my research it seems MySQL gets the most support from hackers(correct me if I'm wrong). In terms of big companies that use it I do know Flickr uses MySQL.
I've seen studies showing PostgreSQL scales better but I assume it's the kind of thing where you can manipulate the data to get whatever results you want. I know MySQL is better supported but can anyone prove it is faster than PostgreSQL?
I see, oh please forgive me if I look like I'm link jacking but I was wondering if we can touch bases on your talks on UI design? it's been a topic of great interest to me.
