One of the things I'm amazed Facebook isn't doing is spending time trying to seriously cut their infrastructure costs. As far as I can tell, Google started investing really early in building out their own data centers with commodity machines that could give them scale on the cheap. Meanwhile, Facebook is still trying to cut deals to acquire more and more big iron. Facebook's growth could be their downfall if they don't figure out a way to make all these new users' photos and videos inexpensive to store.
