What is popularo? Click here.

We wrote the other day about how we were building some of popularo using Amazon’s Web Services, and how we were concerned about it after the outage the other day.  Well, after some internal discussion and research, it looks like we are going to use Mosso’s Cloud Computing Service when we launch.  TechCrunch has a good article about them today, as does GigaOM and ReadWriteWeb.

I like the fact that MySQL is clustered at Mosso, unlike MediaTemple (who we also like), and it’s REAL MySQL, not the wacky SimpleDB “not a database” thing that Amazon offers.  As TC points out, pricing is higher than AWS , but this really does seem like a case of you get what you pay for.
