Notes:
The Robitron Yahoo Group was a Yahoo discussion board created in 2002 by Robby Garner as a forum and virtual meeting place for participants of the Loebner Prize contest, which is an annual competition for artificial intelligence programs, and for discussion of related topics such as the development of conversation systems. The group was also involved in developing the rules for the contest, and provided a space for feedback and conversation among contest participants.
This is an informal survey of chatbot database use from the Robitron Yahoo group, August 2011.

- Tom Joyce generously contributed a rave in message #13745 (above) on why a relational database was superior to a flat file, such as Google App Engine.
- For example, Elizabeth Perreau’s most current http://Program-O.com DIY AIML platform uses MySQL.
- And, Rollo Carpenter’s ever popular http://Cleverbot.com is using 4D v11 SQL (http://4d.com/) to steadily handle 10,000 simultaneous conversations.
- After thinking long and hard, I’m now looking for a (affordable) cloud-based Triplestore (ala IBM Watson), but have so far only identified one high-end solution (EC2). I certainly welcome any suggestions!
