there you go

You retards ... here how it happens:

Applications = size

Bigger size = longer download time = more busy servers
Therefore, when few bilion people load up some 10MB page it takes more time, since its pushing on the servers.
And lets see what happens when there is LESS OR NO crappy applications.

Smaller pages = pages open faster = faster servers

Conclusion : when few bilion people download small size pages it forces the connection less.
It's not just about you ... it's about what everybody does on their pages and how many people open new pages on certain time period.
Facebook has high latency.

Solution 1: Don't add applications you dont need and spread the word.
Solution 2: Put all the crappy applications as you please BUT STOP complaining about the speed because you are part of the problem.
Solution 3: Facebook should get (buy or rent) better servers or better connections.
Solution 4: Facebook could limitate the number of applications that are allowed or / and set a size limitation for the applications.

And btw. .. on the pages, not all videos / pictures etc. are connected to Facebook. Those are links, which are connected to youtube or some other servers.

LOL what an idiot you're making out of yourself. mauro. That's like saying VIAGRA spam that comes through to your hotmail should be there cos some people want it. Just cos Idiots like YOU want this spam crap on their facbooks doesn't mean everyone else does, but the nature of the way Facebook works promotes SPAM applications, and some even force you to invite others to see what they do. Clever users ofc ignore these notifications, but the general populace (ie idiots) add every tiny piece of crap they get sent through. The type of person who clicks on each and every one of those 'YOU JUST WON A LAPTOP!!! OMGZZZ!!111" popups that appears and then screams about MS's shitty software when their PC dies. You clearly have no idea if you think that increasing servers and hardware will remove the spam and speed things up. Add more servers, without combatting the problem, and they'll just fill with crap within no time, and you're back at square 1. Try again. – Yourmomma, on June 16, 2008 23:16

mauro23. I'm confused here. On one hand you say the applications aren't slowing FB down and on the other you're saying FB needs more servers. So, if the applications aren't slowing FB down, why do they need more servers? I think you're a little confused! – Fyahstarta, on June 12, 2008 18:29

Have you guys seen Crumpler's bucket inserts? These would be good for a shoulder bag hack. I've been talking to a lot of guy who worry about their equipment being stolen in foreign countries, so they travel with diaper bags. They say no one goes near them. I'm thinking of throwing a Crumpler in one of those.

Hello Thor,
It's Giselle of Seesmic and well, I'd love to come up with some very creative and slightly socially risky scheme to get you into seesmic but I would have no invitation code to reward you for your efforts bc I just don't have any! As you well know, they are in high demand and we simply and unfortunately cannot meet that demand at the moment. so, in the meantime, I think patience is all I can command from you! thanks for understanding and we'll see you on seesmic when the time comes!

Cheers,
Giselle

"Not sure if Timbuk2's brand is for the business setting"

I guess that would depend on the business wouldn't it? I, along with several of my coworkers, carry a Timbuk2 bag every (and I mean EVERY) day to work and have always received the highest praise on how cool my bag is.

Is the CEO of IBM carrying a Commute, probably not. His loss....

Not sure if Timbuk2's brand is for the business setting

Yeah what Mr. Muscles said.

Yeah it's the commuter bag.

I would love to see an XL bag on someone, worn high up.

"It seems like the Facebook engineers add another javascript and css file to their pages with every new feature. As of today, viewing the Facebook homepage loads 36 javascript files from Facebook and 4 more from advertisers. In addition to these 40 files, there are 12 css files.

That’s a lot of files! If you’ve ever noticed the excessive flickering happening in your browser’s status bar when you go to Facebook, this is the cause.

How can they improve the situation? The total file size isn’t too terrible at about 100k of JS and 40k of CSS. The best thing to do would be to use a simple build script that concatenates all these files together into one larger file. If they can’t do that for some reason, they could at least serve the files from more than one domain to take advantage of parallel downloads in the browser. They could also try a service like Akamai, but that’s a bit more complex and expensive.

This seems like a really silly oversight from an organization that in general produces beautiful work. My guess is that when the company was getting started they set up a relatively simple build process that has now become ingrained and difficult to alter as their setup has quickly become larger and more distributed. However, they’ve reached the point where it’s time to revisit things and do it properly."

if you want an american made messenger bag ReLoads rock and are made in either seattle or philly! buy american made!

PJMollin1315 please shut up, all thos apps are there because its what people want, they are not slowing facebook down, facebook simply have to get more servers, with high bandwith. that way they can meet the demmand they have at the moment, facebook came out of nowhere going from 0 to hero, and they just didnt improvise enough to cope with the huge growth.
