I don't know if they're using a particular feature, but Reddit is basically using Postgres as a KVS.

They said it was actually faster than other KVSes they tried. This was also a while ago.

I actually just looked up the video where they talk about this yesterday.

Here it is: http://thinkvitamin.com/code/steve-huffman-on-lessons-learne...

It's called "Lessons Learned at Reddit", and mostly talks about building and deploying large-scale web applications (the technical, not business side of things.) Well worth watching (there's also a transcript.)
