How about Hacker News, and more generally internet discussion forums?
Many discussion forums are SQL backed - but both Reddit and Digg are reported to use Cassandra, a NoSQL system.

In this case Redis would be the odd man out.
Unless you want to do manual sharding and replication, MySQL also is targeted at a different use-case. I also don't think anybody would run a 40 node mysql master-master cluster
Either you want to scale over multiple systems or you don't. Either you have more data than RAM or you don't.
