Facebook... Bursting at the seams?
Facebook just borrowed $100 million to buy a few thousand more servers to handle its ever increasing traffic. Seems like wunderkindt Zuckerberg is not only seeing the number of users increase by 71% in the last year... It's all those fucking stupid apps people keep loading on. I mean c'mon Mark, if you cut down on the fucking pokes, teddy bears, baseball shit and film star quizzes, you wouldn't need those millions of extra servers, you could shove a few more fucking billion in your bulging bank account... And with a bit of luck, all those wankers I've never heard of who want to be my friend... Would fuck off.

Wanna be my Facebook friend?
About a year ago, CIO Insight published a report on MySpace's infrastructure and the insane demands of a popular social network.

Interesting to see the manpower and computing power needed to get as many users as possible ... when you're still not sure how to pay for it all.
