It's unreal to me how poor Facebook's actual product is. I regularly get white screens of death on the site, viewing a photo from the feed dumps the feed in the background forcing you to rescroll the whole page to get back where you were, account pages are little more than naked HTML... It's so shitty! Don't start me on how poor the business experience is either. Get locked out of an account or get flagged in error? Ha fuck you customer!

The only thing floating them is the network.

I've wondered for a really long time how so many non-technical people could stand using Facebook; it always confused the hell out of me and was just awful to use.

I think non-technical people are ok with the abuse because everything on their computer abuses them. And if something goes awry, they figure it's their own fault for using their trackball mouse incorrectly [0].
