Found some interesting reading stuff over the weekend. Take a peek:
1) Designing and Implementing Scalable Applications with Memcached and MySQL:
Very interesting technical presentation in PDF format.
2) Early YouTube engineer talks about scalability and outages:

3) The audience for US websites is becoming increasingly international. Sites like Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn etc. not only get US visitors, but they also attract a significant share of international visitors also. This story from Wall Street Journal digs a little deeper into this scenario and how the sites need to gear ads targeted towards these international visitors as well.
Memcached rocks!
Another cool reading on memcached/APC use at facebook http://sizzo.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/facebook_performance_caching-dc.pdf
