That talk was great. We introduced Kafka at my work probably 3-4 months ago, at first only to track events from our webservices, but eventually it became the backbone of communication between our services.
The Java library for the consumer part, still based on the Scala code, is not that great though. They're rewriting a Java-only library, which is much nicer to use, but I'm not sure when it'll be stable.
