Regardless of whether this includes real people or not, that's still quite a bit of load that they're able to handle. Have other services like Google or YouTube reached this milestone as well or is this an overall first for any site?

Without absolutely nothing to base myself on, I'd guess Google has higher usage. Does anyone have any quick data at hand on this?

EDIT: By usage I mean what's referenced on the article, number of unique people using the page.
