They must be plugging in new servers every few hours given the hundreds of millions spent on infrastructure. A friend recently asked a major social net for some of their data/logs for a study he is doing. He asked for 5 gigs or so, they said that was about 45 minutes of use or something like that.

This one for example, Aditya Agarwal, Facebook's Director of Engineering, is all about the software stack that Facebook uses. http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Facebook-Software-Stack#close=1 He mentions many interesting things like the fact that Facebook uses 25 terabytes and that Facebook doesn't limit you to 5000 friends for engineering reasons but rather for product reasons. That groups use the same framework as people and groups can have millions of members. There's a lot of other interesting stuff if you're interested in the tech.
