<==>   Hi Eric,
<==>  
<==>   The one I know best is a chat site. The application is
<==>   much more sophisticated
<==>   than MetaLink. It has seen also seen "unprecedented
<==>   demand" recently - about
<==>   500% growth in the last year. There have been growing
<==>   pains, mostly caused by
<==>   Oracle bugs, but they certainly seem to be able to make
<==>   their Oracle stuff scale
<==>   much better than MetaLink does. Maybe its because of the
<==>   performance consultant
<==>   they use. I understand that Oracle management politely
<==>   declined an offer of help
<==>   from the same consultant.

<==>   Steve,
<==>  
<==>   Thanks for the very interesting comments. Are those webified
<==>   apps with similar requirements as metalink?
