Congrats, guys!

I have to say, though, while you were busy inching towards 1.0 I've fallen in love with other production-ready NoSQL db's (namely Mongo and Cassandra). I'm excited to play with Couch, just to play with it, but as someone who is already very satisfied with other NoSQL technologies (when I need them), what would be your pitch for why I should give Couch a serious look?

this is pretty cool news, though I'm a might concerned about how the links to the couchone hosting seem to be broken :p

We're getting hit by lots of 10x waves right now, so while we're doing what we can, if the hosted stuff is sluggish today we'll be faster tomorrow.

Cheers, Chris

I've got truly offline replication (as in you can run me on Android and your laptop and keep them synced via the cloud).

Also, none of the other NoSQLs are really set up for schemaless queries like I am. Incremental map-reduce lets you normalize a bunch of different heterogenous document structures in your view, which is more flexible than the key-path indexes Mongo has, and more real-time than Hadoop/Google style map reduce.
