Nice introduction to beanstalkd. Shame about the mail demo, but the AWS demo that worked was more interesting for me anyway :p. I'll probably give beanstalkd a try in the near future.
Good motivational talk about what to look out for when designing your own public api - well presented insights on why/what choices google made plus live demos w/ actual code; yay!
nice talk, i would have liked some more comparison between beanstalkd and gearmand, pointing out some benefits vs gearmand
