>> it was indeed just a php website.

How quickly can one build and how quickly can it scale ? - Speed is the name of the game - is it not this rule which holds true when building things on internet.

Or else, most of top internet apps are just going to be php,rails,node web-apps

This was my original thought. Zuckerberg hired people to scale facebook to what it has become today.
