Nathan, on slide 38 of this (http://www.slideshare.net/nathanmarz/become-efficient-or-die... ) presentation you mention you tried to implement social search with Neo4j and switched to Sphinx when you ran into issues.

Can you tell us more about that? (or is there a blog entry somewhere?)

Thanks.

We ran into a number of issues with Neo4j. The main one was that the database would periodically get corrupted and throw exceptions when we tried to use it, forcing us to rebuild the index. This was over a year ago though, it may have improved since then.

Nathan, would it be possible to share the slides that you used for this talk?
