Information about how companies like Facebook, YouTube, FlickR, Myspace, got started?

Everyone is well aware of the signifiance of theses social networking sites. There are many out there, all the ones that are successful have their niches. My question is does anyone know where there is some information on how theses companies got up and running. Although we know it was one or a couple people with an idea that got to programming it.

But I really want to know, what skills they had, and how they promoted their sites. There is some real valuable information that theses webpreneurs know and I've like to see and hear, visualize and learn from their experiences. If there was a movie or something, they have some millionaire work ethics, or something.

Does anyone have any good information on startups like theses companies? What they did, how, when, seems like 04'-05' was the big hit off for the social networking trend.

Why the interest in sn (social networks) is what Daniel meant

also check out Stanford's Educators Corner podcast in which they interview Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and goes into quite a lot of detail.
