Baseline Magazine describes the inner workings of MySpace.com, including all the technical hurdles the company has faced as it leapfrogged so many other Web sites in popularity.
As simple as the site may seem, the amount of computing power and bandwidth needed to keep the social networking site’s specialized functions going. All those technical errors and glitches over the last year suddenly make a lot more sense. There’s also some interesting information about the origins of the site. It’s a must-read for anyone curious about MySpace.
