that seems to be more of a marketing blog-post.... there is nothing special
about this "NewSQL" except that it always tries the cache the complete
database in RAM - and you can do that already. Also SQL is indeed verry good
for Web-Applications.

By the way: when someone clicks on a Facebook Like button, he doesn't have
to wait until that data is written to a mysql database, but instead the like
request is just transmitted to the facebook servers who will then change the
stuff in the database without the customer having to wait.
