Cool information about Amazon Web Services and how it was used for the IMA ArtBabble video site. Sever instances and storage (S3) allowed for very inexpensive deployment of video.
Hoard.it is a museum item screen scraping project. Neat idea if we could coalesce the information from all of the BP museums in one place and allow tagging, Wikipedia links to creators, etc. Mentioned date translation system.
The Jewish Women's Archive has used a collection management system called Fedora (not the Linux distro of the same name) and Drupal to track their items. They moved to AWS for better distributed storage, etc. and seemed very pleased with it.
