The top 10 presentations on scaling websites: twitter, Flickr, Bloglines, Vox and more. I normally avoid linking to “top 10” lists on principle, but this one pulls together some great resources and adds extra context to each one.

I know, the "top 10" thing was kinda, dunno, dumb. There weren't even 10 presentations in that post, I just added that "top 10" thing at the end. But hey, I *do* love those scaling presentations. It's like geek drugs. Federation! Shards! memcached! Sometimes I'm sad that I can't use that stuff yet on some sites of mine (early optimization being evil and all).
