Comments on: Will Google Run Writely on Mono? http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/03/17/will-google-run-writely-on-mono/ because technology is just another ecosystem Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:19:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Zac Bowling http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/03/17/will-google-run-writely-on-mono/comment-page-1/#comment-202831 Zac Bowling Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:54:36 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/wp/?p=769#comment-202831 Hey Sogrady, Okrut is currently a .NET based solution and they host windows servers among the same number of linux servers that cache things from the .NET Windows boxes. Google has no trouble hosting Windows. Also the link about second life is about second life choosing Mono, not about switching really. .NET wasn't a choice for Second Life since all their servers are Linux based. Mono was choosen because they have scripting language in SL that runs horribly slow in their current interpreted mode, and using Mono allows them to JIT their scripts on the server side.

Google has found the potential in writely to get a dedicated base of users. I think that Google looked more than platform in its acquistion of Writely.

In the original post, Dan had actually asked that question, but I'd actually thought that Orkut was homegrown and maybe it was. Would love to see some answers though.

They've been running it for years and it's still ASP-based. What did they do with Orkut? They’ve been running it for years and it’s still ASP-based.
