LinkedIn runs on the LAMP stack - and it’s suddenly news?

Published in MichaelDolan - 31-07-2008

I couldn’t help but find myself perplexed when I got an email on my iPhone yesterday from a well known figure in the Linux world. He (and subsequently I) were baffled that Sun must be combing through existing LAMP users for new references - LinkedIn uses LAMP. Well call me shocked… don’t 90% of the web companies out there run LAMP? (excluding those Microsoft has bought) I’m guessing the “new news” is that Sun signed up LinkedIn for a MySQL support contract for the first time, but are we going through a second LAMP hype cycle? http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080728/20080728005247.html?.v=1
