Sorry about the late news post guys, today was just one of those days.
Anyway, first off we have a new case study over at Zend.com. AuctionWatch significantly reduced its servers, and benefitted from a Total Cost of Ownership drop of 50%. Sounds like a good deal to me, maybe other compnies will catch on.
Also, in case you've been living under a rock and didn't hear about the "Am I Hot or Not" craze, WebTechniques.com has a neat article that goes into how they made it and how much luck they really got when it came time to put it out for the world. (for those wondering, the site ran on PHP).
