Facebook Scaling
June 24, 2010
The service no one believes can grow may be slowing down. But Facebook remains a big dog site. Its users are happy campers asking other Facebook members where to find information. Others happily suck down Facebook videos, pictures, and ads. Whether the company is thinking about members’ privacy or feeling Googley, Facebook is barking and showing its teeth. If you want to know how the animal works, check out “Exploring the Software behind Facebook, the World’s Largest Site.” Don’t remind me that the Google may be bigger. I don’t care. I am suggesting you check out the information in the write up. For me, the most important message was open source. Useful links to Facebook information sources nestle within the write up as well. Worth reading and tucking in a reference file in my opinion.
