Picks of the Week - every podcast we each pick a module, theme, or other Drupal-related "thing" that we'd like to spread the word about.
- Mike - Better Messages by Mohammed J. Razem (doublethink) - a very simple module that provides "Popup-like" Drupal messages.
- Damien - Taxonomy Manager by Matthias Hutterer (mh86)- mass deleting, mass adding of new terms, moving of terms in hierarchies, merging of terms, and more
- Ryan - FileField Sources by Nate Haug (quicksketch)- allows you to fill a filefield via autocomplete, IMCE or URL input with curl
Also check out our DrupalEasy videos from DrupalCon Paris, Joshua Koenig's Pantheon, Automated testing for Drupal + Amazon EC2, and Do It With Drupal.
Site of the Week - every podcast we collectively pick a (usually new) Drupal site to be highlighted and discussed. This week's pick is Earley & Associates - Earley & Associates relaunched their corporate site a few weeks ago. The new Drupal site has a very clean, professional theme and makes full use of advanced views techniques such as relationships to aggregate related content across the site. The site also uses ubercart, with some customization, to allow users to purchase whitepapers, register for webinars, and download recordings of past events. Behind the scenes are custom user reports and some Salesforce integration. IMHO a great example of a corporate site using Drupal.

Great Stuff.
Another great episode - would like to see a link to archive.org of Mike's pick of his favorite session at Drupalcon Paris. As I believe Damien said it is hard to match session with videos. Hope you get login access to the drupalcon paris site to add those links.

Unclear on who should use Pantheon
This seems like a really great concept, but I guess I'm still a little unclear on who should use this type of environment. Is it primarily for large, high traffic sites? Or can you run a small site that is looking to grow? I have a project coming up for a non-profit, and I think the traffic is going to be pretty light to start, but it could increase pretty quickly. Should I start using a traditional hosting platform (ie. dreamhost) or would it benefit me to start out with Mercury or Aegir? I assume that you can move existing sites to the cloud, right? Thanks in advance.
