    Seems people in America can reach, but not us...

    Before you blame Facebook hatred of Australia, try that place first.

    That site may not actually apply, I already asked some people but they are in other countries.

    This story is recent as well, from a local paper...I hate reading.

    I guess Facebook hates Australians. Working fantastic on my end in the western US.

    I agree, but nearly all of my friends use Facebook instead of MSN, so I'm sorta forced to use Facebook if I want to talk to somebody.

    Here in Brazil only 8% of the people only use facebook against 45% that use orkut (by Google). BTW Orkut sucks and Brazil is the country in the world that spends most of it's time on social networks....

    FB chat will lag regardless of browser once the chat box gets too full. It seems around the limit when it starts deleting older messages from the history is the point that it starts lagging. Clearing the chat box using the option at the top of the chat box tends to fix the lag issues.

    A friend of mine used to have same issue but then he used this new browser..flock?

    Pretty much my exact words.

    Now we just need it to shutdown on the rest of the world, then myspace. And then we'll be FREE from the horror of those "networking sites"

    False, something else would just replace them shortly.
