amazing stats

I agree , wasnt until a few weeks ago when someone pointed out to me Facebook was getting more pageviews than Google (some days) did I realise how big of a powerhouse it had become....

that is monster network! They are real band and size beast!

The running costs must be terrifying.

Well, they just take some of the 800 million USD they made last year and pay the bills. Not that scary really. :D

:thumbsup

Is that top line or net? I always heard they run on very thin margins and hadn't even seen a profit until last year.

Crazy to think that many people are on that site!

That's just insane...

Holy fuck 30k servers,totally crazy.

didn't facebook get a loan for these servers?

yes but traffic is shitty quality.

With all that they only made 800 million, still have a long way to go.

So what?

Probably has an economy of scale kicking in to drop per user rates as more and more users join their network.

Quote " According to a July 2008 analysis from Data Center Knowledge, Facebook was spending somewhere between $20m and $25m a year on data center space. The previous November, unnamed sources told TechCrunch that the company was spending "well over" a million a month on electricity alone and "likely" another $500,000 for bandwidth. And of course, spending was on the rise "........ and that was 2008 !! Crazy Stats !!

Fuck facebook...
