Hello, An interesting report was created by pingdom.com about the uptime of the major social networks.
http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/17/facebook-myspace-lead -in-social-uptime/ The PDF is interesting, although they fail to include the technologies in use. So, with some snooping around and netcraft, I came up with the list below. In some cases, there's an apparent mix right off the bat. There may be other mixes of technology, but I didn't go much deeper than the homepage of each site. Those marked with ??? were hard to pin down exactly what they were using. Any thoughts/feedback would be welcomed. facebook.com PHP/Apache myspace.com ASP/IIS linkedin.com Java/Sun-One ??? twitter.com RoR/Apache friendster.com PHP/Apache livejournal.com ??? orkut.com ASP/Python/GFE bebo.com JSP/Resin hi5.com Apache/Java ??? live.com ASP/IIS last.fm: Java/Apache ??? classmates.com: JSP/Resin reunion.com: JSP/Apache ??? xanga.com: ASP/IIS ??? imeem.com: ASP/IIS ??? - netcraft says lighttpd --- Hans Zaunere / Managing Member / New York PHP www.nyphp.org / www.nyphp.com _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
