Just read this blog post:

[http://engineering.foursquare.com/2012/08/09/foursquare-now-uses-elastic-search-and-on-a-related-note-slashem-also-works-with-elastic-search/](http://engineering.foursquare.com/2012/08/09/foursquare-now-uses-elastic-search-and-on-a-related-note-slashem-also-works-with-elastic-search/)

Great to see another company using ElasticSearch. Never heard of  
Slashem, but I will now check it out (and part of the reason why I  
posted the blog post here).

Cheers,

Ivan

Oops, sorry about the bad subject line. Too quick on the trigger  
finger with copy-n-paste.
