My Twitter Hacking list
Taking advantage of the new Twitter List feature, I just created a hacking list focusing on relevant programmer news, from architecture to coding, including high scalability systems and a dose of cloud computing. I tried to avoid including "people" with too much noise or tech news style. For such lists, I would recommend scobleizer lists: you can not find more exhaustive lists than his!.
This list is going to evolve by adding or removing "people" based on noise level and technical relevancy. Any feedback or suggestions is welcome!

Liked this simple but complete tutorial on making a Twitter-like service using a key-value DB
This is a good tutorial for people just learning on how to use a key-value store instead of a usual relational database. And this tutorial is great as demonstrating a fully working Web 2.0 service, including security. It is based on the new key-value store http://code.google.com/p/redis/ a non-volatile memcached-like store written in ANSI-C for Posix systems.
Smart move: Twitter Search will crawl tweets' links and index content
Twitter Search, which currently searches only the text of Twitter posts, will soon begin to crawl the links included in tweets and begin to index the content of those pages.

Then when we got into the front lobby we were warming greeted again, and then as we looked around, we saw this wasn’t going to be a normal visit to a normal company. There was a book store with books free for the taking. There was a popcorn machine. A Dance Dance Revolution machine. A “hall of fame” board for employees who had pushed “reply to all” too quickly. And a video display that showed off how many sales were made yesterday.
