Both blogs (mailinator and paultyma) are awesome. I need more stuff like this than a typical Web 2.0, how we use NoSQL, and Cache-Everything (without a clue how to do cache properly, but 37Signals cache solution is by far in line with mailinator techniques: smart and elegant).

It's awesome, yes - but it's worth keeping in mind that this trick works because he has an intensely write-heavy application (he probably does orders of magnitude more writes than reads). Very few applications have such a data access pattern.
