Is there a list of start-ups in london looking for developers?

I am looking at redesigning my CV. I was wondering if people would like to share examples of there CV (links only please do not paste the contents of your cv).

I have all the content but I just feel it looks dated and lacking that modern look and feel.

Thanks

In the back of my mind I am always thinking about startup ideas.

Last week I thought of an idea only to find three rather well established companies already have products in the market place. I would normally let this drop but I have been quite taken by the idea and now think maybe I can bring something new and improve on whats already in the market.

Whats the general view of creating a startup in a market which already has large well established companies? What are the early tell tell signs it might be a good move, or a bad move?

We are rewriting an application which is write heavy (wont go into exact numbers but +00's of writes per second currently).

The original application was using a postgresql back-end (now severely struggling) but we are wanting to move to NoSQL due to changing schemas etc.

To give an idea of our setup.

We have two application server sets. One in the UK the other in the US, but only one database which is in the UK.

We want to have a setup where by as the company expands we can create more application server sets in different locations each with an application server and datastore.

Because write speed is more important than read we need a solution which will offer us the ability to add extra datastore nodes in order to increase write performance with the data being replicated across other locations.

I would like to know what people suggest as a nosql datastore which will offer us the ability to have master:x:master replication and a high write rate.

I have been asked to join / help a friend who is creating an event logging SaaS solution. He says he has done a good amount of research and though there are companies that offer this he believes there is a gap in the market for something innovative he has been working on.

So i guess there are two questions:

1. Do you use an event logging solution?

2. Would you be interested in using an event logging solution within your business or personal solutions?
