History

PIXNET was started in 2003 as an online photo hosting service for students, and over time evolved into a social network. In 2007 it received financial backing from the Hong Kong-based TOM Group. This backing supported the site's hosting by Amazon Web Services in order for it to grow; AWS processes over 10 million pictures every day.[4]

gollark: Well, the obvious cloudscale™ way would be to make something to bridge it to a remote™ webcloud™ API, then give the remote™ cloudwebscale™ hyperAPI™ another API™, which is then used by a React.js application hosted on your server to control it.
gollark: It has GRADIENTS in it, and CORNERS which are not SQUARE.
