Move to AppEngine. Seriously. I know the pain these guys are going thro sys-admin-ing the system. The memcache clears out, The cassandra's fail, the fault reporting system breaks. The new twitter fail whale. Let the pros do the sys admin thing. Like Ted Zuiba says it, it not that they are not intelligent, the kind of problems that occur at large scales, they just don't have enough experience to know, anticipate and have preventive measures in place. They should really talk to Google, to move their data on to the Bigtable and work on adding features.
