They combined a lot of things others were doing well too and combined it into a resource hungry piece of software. I too am not really impressed

It's not that they didn't do it well or anything, and they've clearly scaled up to this insane load but they aren't afaik using crazy algorithms or something special like that. They just did the obvious "we'll have a hosted app that does this AND this"
