That misses qq66's point; G+ isn't a 1:1 clone exactly because it doesn't do anything like a quarter billion photos per day.
I'm not doubting G's potential to handle Facebook scale, but they're very far away from it right now.
- gvb 14y agoWhat about Youtube? Picassa? Indexing the whole internet? That is some amazing scale.
- katbyte 14y agoI would say the scales youtube and google search operate at show that they could easily handle google+ at facebook's scale.
- icebraining 14y agoYoutube handles 3.7x10⁹ frames per day (assuming 12 fps video, which is a low estimate). That's 3.7 billion frames that have to be converted and checked against an enourmous database of copyrighted content. You're right that G+ doesn't, but FB doesn't have anything on Google on scaling.
