I am experiencing frustration when trying to interact with people through Facebook.  From where I am, it seems waaaaaaay slower than other websites.  Everytime i click to look at a picture, or something someone's posted, it takes forever to respond.  I'm wondering, are there too many people on Facebook?  Is their IT infrastructure insufficient?  Is it something that only happens to me because of something weird in my own computer?  Hard to tell, but I wish there was another way that I could look at the stuff my friends are posting. 

That's I guess the issue with controlled, encapsulated structures like Facebook.  You get the convenience of having everyone in one place (no need to remember everyone's blog or website address), but also, you get to experience the systemic failures.  I have an issue with waiting though, which I need to work through as soon as possible.  Maybe it's all in my head.
