I dont know if people really use them as a reference, but Reddit is one of the few sites in the sweet spot of getting a lot of traffic, and being pretty open about their architecture. Any presentation done on behalf of Reddit (pycon '09, '10, this) is great fodder for the technical Reddit users, such as myself.
