"If you can't run that site with 750 people, you don't know how to run a business," No offense, but what the hell do they need even 750 people for?

  I remember reading somewhere that Facebook has 400 employees (400 employees for 200 million members). The difference between MySpace and FB is striking.

    No, Facebook has at least 700 employees (see source on Wikipedia for 11/08) and probably more like 800.

      Note that that's still half of what MySpace employs now, according to the article.

  And I thought that the 80+ people on digg were too much

  It's almost certain that only a small fraction are actually technical people, because you don't need many tech people to keep such a site actually running. But you do need people doing: * Marketing/sales/advertising * Finance/accounting * Customer service * Public relations * Compliance * etc., etc. You also need at least some management to keep things running. And, at that size, human resources. And probably facilities/B&G people. And... well, let's just say I'm not surprised that there'd be 750 people.

    There is 1500 employees now, they are thinking of cutting it down to 750.
