MongoDB

MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBM systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality).

The site has an interactive tutorial that is fantastic.

The Twitter Platform

It is critical that the core experience of real-time introductions and information is protected for the user and with an eye toward long-term success for all advertisers, users and the Twitter ecosystem. For this reason, aside from Promoted Tweets, we will not allow any third party to inject paid tweets into a timeline on any service that leverages the Twitter API.

A major blow for quite a few developers, I would imagine.
