    We have just released flightcaster.com which uses statistical inference and machine learning to predict flight delays in advance of airlines (initial results appear to do so with 85 - 90 % accuracy.)

    The webserver and webapp are all rails running on the Heroku platform; which also serves our blackberry and iphone apps. The research and data heavy lifting is all in Clojure. Distributed data mining is done via a custom layer on top of cascading (which is a layer on top of hadoop.) All run on EC2 and S3 using the very nice cloudera AMIs and deployment scripts.
