scalable sites

facebook, skype, myspace etc... all have millions and millions of users, does anyone know what their architecture looks like. Is it distributed on different nodes or do they use massive clusters?

Memcached is used by a lot of sites with a lot of users, including Facebook. You can find lots of blogs that discuss the architecture of various high traffic Web sites. A long time ago I listened to this Arcast which I thought was quite interesting (if you do ASP.NET with SQL Server)
