MySpace outage

Was reading about the MySpace outage over the weekend over on yahoo tech news....

This was interesting....

- - - -
According to information presented at the Microsoft Web Summit '06, as of February 2006, MySpace had three datacenters running 2,682 Web servers and 650 database servers. The company also is running 90 cache servers and 150 disks in its storage-area network.


That's a heap o' servers!

Tom sold a long time ago. He's probably on the payroll but he's already a millionaire from his shares in the company, there were 4 founders I beleive.

The reason these sites are bought for so much money is because the big companies are scared that they will lose out on things. So they buy whatever they can with their big stock portfolios...

I still doubt any of these places are worth a dime really, except to the people that created and sold them...

Investors also are totally scared of losing out, now is the time to get VC again for internet sites... think of a site that does something with "blogs", "xml", "social networking", "ajax", "web 2.0" or any combination thereof and as long as you can write a good plan you are sure to get big VC....

Here's where it talks about the MySpace deal - http://www.newscorp.com/Report2005/A.../HTML2/046.htm, though it doesn't get much more specific than that. The deal isn't suppsoed to close until this year though.

Yup, its all about the traffic.

LOL NewsCorp is probably the most powerful media conglomerate in the world. It would be quicker to look up what they don't own or have interests in rather than what they do. So yeah you, me and every MySpace user and pretty much everyone in the Western world is their customer.
