I think that generally looks good except that I disagree with the scalable = hadoop-based assertion. I think that scalable means that we handle big problems that are difficult with other tools. Hadoop is one key method for this and we use it a lot. In other cases we use other methods. One example is how taste handles delivery of realtime recs. Another is where clever algorithms like Pegasos or sgd which give large scale results on single machines.
