Facebook definitely slow

Having poled a statistically significant group of 3 people in a pub last night it was agreed that Facebook is a lot slower and we are all suspicious that instant chat is killing speed. One of the 3 was a systems guy and his theory goes as follows:

- Systems will block Gmail (and every other mail client)
- Systems will block IM clients
- Facebook has both of the above
- Systems do not block Facebook
- That's because they use it themselves too much

Another attendee is working on the BBBC/ITV/C4 web VoD platform called Kangaroo. Sounds interesting but of course he couldn't talk about it on the record...
