The Internet has a rising star whose name isn't Google. Just over 2 years old, MySpace now has 2 1/2 times the traffic of Google

The development comes as the leading portal, Yahoo, becomes more like MySpace, starting a social-networking service called 360 and buying content-sharing sites such as Flickr and Del.icio.us.

And the growing pains are painfully obvious. I finally caved and set one up last week. How hard can something like this be to run? It's a glorified blog with the ability to upload pictures and send messages to each other. And it crashes, stalls, has long periods of unavailability, etc... I understand the scale and the growth rate of this thing, but it's terribly glitchy.
