What seems a lifetime ago I wrote the backend for the website of Sprite's Sublymonal ad campaign. It mashed up a bunch of wikipedia data and fed it to a slick flash frontend. The whole website was expected to last two weeks.
Funny story: I was expected to use Coca-Cola's Websphere infrastructure, maintained by IBM at some IBM datacenter. It was going to take them months to set up, and I had a week before the campaign launched. I ended up running the whole thing on a couple (rackspace, IIRC) VPSes and never told the client.
