Last week, I gave a little lunchtime presentation on various memory caches such as OSCache, Whirlycache and Ehcache. I also talked about memcached which is something that I'm really interested in looking into more.
I like the fact that it is so simple. Some folks were expecting it to more of a total solution as opposed to just worrying caching objects in memory. Also, the bindings in multiple languages allow you to use utilize the cache from various angles of the problem.
It was developed initially for LiveJournal and as far as I know, they are still using it. Also, Technorati is using it as well.
Originally, this article started me along this path and now I think I might look into Spread a bit more. We used it a bit at CollabNet but I was mainly focused on build/release stuff then as opposed to writing or designing code.
