  [[http://www.mahalo.com|Mahalo]], "...the world's first human-powered search engine". All the markup that powers the wiki is stored in HBase. It's been in use for a few months now. !MediaWiki - the same software that power Wikipedia - has version/revision control. Mahalo's in-house editors produce a lot of revisions per day, which was not working well in a RDBMS. An hbase-based solution for this was built and tested, and the data migrated out of MySQL and into HBase. Right now it's at something like 6 million items in HBase. The upload tool runs every hour from a shell script to back up that data, and on 6 nodes takes about 5-10 minutes to run - and does not slow down production at all.
  
  [[http://www.meetup.com|Meetup]] is on a mission to help the world’s people self-organize into local groups.  We use Hadoop and HBase to power a site-wide, real-time activity feed system for all of our members and groups.  Group activity is written directly to HBase, and indexed per member, with the member's custom feed served directly from HBase for incoming requests.  We're running HBase 0.20.0 on a 11 node cluster.

+ [[http://www.mendeley.com|Mendeley]] We are creating a platform for researchers to collaborate and share their research online. HBase is helping us to create the worlds largest research paper collection and is being used to store all our raw imported data. We use a lot of map reduce jobs to process these papers into pages displayed on the site. We also use HBase with Pig to do analytics and produce the article statistics shown on the web site. You can find out more about how we use HBase in these slides [http://www.slideshare.net/danharvey/hbase-at-mendeley].
  
  [[http://ning.com|Ning]] uses HBase to store and serve the results of processing user events and log files, which allows us to provide near-real time analytics and reporting. We use a small cluster of commodity machines with 4 cores and 16GB of RAM per machine to handle all our analytics and reporting needs.
