I just reckon that friendster is not a great site in term of its performance etc. There are too many rooms for improvements.

wow thats great. with .net the resources are managed efficiantly.

What about PHP?

How about PHP? Does anyone think that PHP can challenge ASP.NET in term of efficiency, scaling and performance? I know friendster is coded using php though. But it's not as big as myspace...

My site Boomtrek.com is running .NET 1.1 so far so great... getting 1000 hits/month, not that much but upgrading to C#.NET 2.0 to handle future growth after seeing the new great features introduced. I still think MapPoint.NET Web Services should be more reasonable to buy at $8500/year it's a little ridiculous since GoogleMaps are free.

This by far is the best implementation example I can say in the real world for massive traffic sites regarding ASP.net; I can hardly wait to see what else MySpace developers poor into the project. With the AJAX implementations, new .net technologies are gonna make Myspace the defacto... (I think it already is, but hey.. ya never know when yur little blog site might become the next one..) I guess it could be compared to some others out there that made huge improvements by moving to .net (ie. quixtar.com).

Why is it so hard to believe the results of real-world, HEAVILY trafficed sites saying they are using MS technology? Seems like a fair number of people can't get past their hate of company A's technologies to realize they are just spouting for company B's. Productivity benefits of Cold Fusion? Have you got your head around asp.net and coding in C# or VB.net? SO clean, and very fast. My experiences in efficiency with .net are similar. End-to-end, the technology makes a difference and proves itself. I don't care who is selling it. It works (fast) and that's job one. The languages supported are easy to learn and there's no piecing together of 4-10 different products to get sites together. The tools given to you out of the box get you going fast. PLUS, the development tools themselves are tight and the code all ends up clean... The simple fact that myspace has the massive traffic it does and moved to .net really means enough in itself. Maybe a few years from now they'll be crying about how they wish they never made the move... and Rupert Murdoch will be broke. ehhhh Not likely. Not good, but not likely.
