[...] Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, etc sont autant de réseaux/médias sociaux où chacun produit un contenu qu’il adresse à ses amis ou à tous ceux qui trouveront ce dernier. Peu importe que ce contenu soit musical, artistique, culinaire, littéraire ou autre. Pour beaucoup, ne comprenant pas le fonctionnement de ces services, ils ne sont d’aucune utilité. Pourtant, il est possible de monétiser l’utilisation de ces réseaux sociaux mais cela ne doit pas être fait n’importe comment. Dell a créé différents guides sur l’utilisation de FaceBook. Pour les sceptiques, Dell a généré 1 million de dollars (pour être explicite, USD1,000,000) en utilisant Twitter en 2008. C’est peu. C’est beaucoup si l’on tient compte des problèmes de montée en charge de Twitter. [...]

One commentator, Joseph Weisenthal at the Washington Post, suggests that the money is just buying time – plus a few servers to help with their notorious reliability problems. But this may not be enough. A recent post on the company’s blog states that the root of the problem is unknown – something made clearer by Nik Cubrilovic at TechCrunch. [...]

Aren’t there huge email installations out there that handle a load similar to Twitter’s? Aren’t tweets just like an email with a large CC list? Isn’t a timeline like an Inbox? Seems to me that you should look to large volume email operations for ideas.

What about a bridge that has a large MRU cache mapping users to followers. An incoming tweet is transformed into an email with the author’s followers on the CC list. The tweet is then enqueued on a large email system.

The same thing happens on the outgoing side only replace SMTP with POP or IMAP. The email gets transformed back into a tweet and is sent on to the requester.
