Has anyone else found that Facebook is very slow today?

In fact over the last couple of days I have found Facebook to be very slow. I’m not sure if they are doing some form of maintenance or not but accessing applications has been very slow.

Applications are stored on third party servers so that would not be the problem. They only access Facebook for certain functions.

I have installed a Firefox Browser extension that blocks all adds from Facebook. Installing adblock plus did improve my Facebook speed somewhat although I am not sure what is causing the recent slowness.

Here is a link to Adblock Plus for anyone interested. It is also worth downloading ‘Element Hiding Helper‘ this one is particularly good for stubborn adds that will not disappear using Adblock Plus.

I found that Adblock Plus removed most of the advertisements with no trouble, but on a couple of applications I still had one add that would not go. With Element Hiding element it was easy to click around the add with my mouse and hide that advertisement too.

I now provide a professional queueing (queuing) service for a fee. I will queue for any legal reason  i.e

Sporting Events, Business and Corporate Meetings, Annual General meetings, Musical entertainment events.

I am based in Australia but will queue anywhere if  my travel expenses are paid.

Don’t waste your valuable time waiting in queues let someone else do it for you.

If you require someone to queue for you contact me for fee details etc.

The recent changes that the Mob Wars developers have made to the game have made a lot of people angry.

People have spent a lot of money on this Facebook game making the developers rich over the last year or so.

The developers despite protests have now implemented new changes that only make it possible to level up at a very slow pace.

Newer players of the game will be at a severe disadvantage to other players and will have no chance to catch up owing to the new changes.

I have just finished reading their review section and I have never seen such a barrage of criticism in one place. The ranking system which gives reviewers the chance to review 1 to 5 stars is littered with 1 star reviews.

With most reviewers wanting to give the program zero stars but they are not offered that option.

When I started playing the game it was a simple game and fun to play. I think that’s what players liked. Now however its gone with extreme graphics  and is some absurd copy of Mafia Wars.

I’m sure if players had wanted to play Mafia Wars they would go to that game at least it does not pretend to be something else.

Some players have paid thousands of dollars to build up their character in this game and are now bitterly disappointed at being ignored by the developers.

The Disscussion board that used to accompany the mobwars site has also been closed down it would appear so because of the barrage of complaints.

It appears the developers of this game have decided to crawl into their shell and ignore all complaints. That decision may come back to bite them in the hip pocket.

I was playing this game on a regular basis but have now moved to other games with more responsive developers.

Have you ever tried to report anyone on Facebook? I have recently and I have found it to be a very cumbersome system.

When you click the report button on someone’s profile you are given the option to block them or report them or both.

This is where the problem begins. If you you want to just block them that is fairly easy however if you want to report them then that is a different matter.

Recently I had a person repeatedly posting on my wall in a game application that I play I asked him to stop but he refused and started posting every few minutes harassing material.

I wanted to report him so that the behavior could not be repeated against some other person however when I tried to report the program asks for a defined set of areas of where the abuse is coming from then refers the user back to the application or area to post from a supposed report button in that area. Unfortunatly there is often no report button in other areas on facebook. You are provided with no other option to report anyone so you are only left with the block option.

This is what I reluctantly did to avoid further annoying messages.

I think Facebook needs to review their system so that reports of harassment can actually be sent.

I think they are avoiding a lot of work on their part by not providing this service easily. However it then means that numerous people have to put up with harassment from certain people before any action is taken.

Mafia Wars is a multiplayer browser game created by Zynga. It was the 2009 Webby Award People’s Voice Winner in the Games category.[1] It is available on several different social networking sites and on the iPhone.
Platforms

Mafia Wars is available on Facebook, MySpace, Tagged, Sonico, and Yahoo!.[2] On April 8, 2009, Zynga released a version of the game as a free downloadable iPhone App.[3]

On Facebook alone, as of October 2009, Mafia Wars has more than 25.9 million monthly active accounts.[4] Some players and clans create multiple accounts to utilize the benefits of the three basic character builds available: Fearless, Maniac, and Mogul.
Gameplay

Mafia Wars is set in New York City and Little Italy, with the option for players to travel between New York, Cuba (level 35+), Moscow (level 70+) and Bangkok (upon unlocking items from New York levels, level 18+), and in 2010, Las Vegas. The game revolves around doing and mastering jobs in order to earn cash and experience, with the goal of establishing and advancing one’s criminal empire.[5] Players create mafias by recruiting players and using reward points to hire extra mafia members. Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Friendster allow players to recruit from within their network of friends to build their mafia and fight against other players.[5][6] Players can also improve their stats by visiting the Godfather or making a micropayment.[5]

Twitter is a free social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Ever since late 2009, users can follow lists of authors instead of following individual authors [3][4]. All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service itself costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as “SMS of the Internet”[5] The use of Twitter’s application programming interface for sending and receiving text messages by other applications often eclipses direct use of Twitter.

What we have to do is deliver to people the best and freshest most relevant information possible. We think of Twitter as it’s not a social network, but it’s an information network. It tells people what they care about as it is happening in the world.
—Evan Williams [6]

Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, and school or college. The website’s name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University.[5] The website’s membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include (potentially) any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 350 million active users worldwide.[6]

The original concept for Facebook was borrowed from a product produced by Zuckerberg’s prep school Phillips Exeter Academy which for decades published and distributed a printed manual of all students and faculty at the Exeter, NH-based boarding school.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer and entertainer. Referred to as the King of Pop, he is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time, and one of the most influential. His contributions to music, dance and fashion,[1] and a much publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.

Alongside his brothers, he made his debut as lead singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5 in 1964. He began his solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album ever, with Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995) among the world’s best-selling albums ever. He is sometimes credited with having elevated the music video from mere promotional tool into an art form: his videos for Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller made him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical, vocal style and choreography are credited with having transcended generational, racial and cultural barriers.

FarmVille is a real-time farm simulation game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social networking website Facebook. The game allows members of Facebook to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops, trees, and raising livestock.[2] Since its launch in June 2009,[3] FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook, with over 75.2 million active users and over 18.1 million fans in January 2010.[4] FarmVille started as a clone of the popular Farm Town on Facebook.[5]

On February 4, 2010, Microsoft’s MSN Games has also launched Farmville to its website [6][7], although requiring a Facebook account. A Windows Live ID is not required to play the game however.

Gameplay

Upon beginning a farm, the player first creates a customizable avatar.[8] There are six plots of land, four of which are in the process of growing, and two (eggplant and strawberries) which are fully grown.

Texas hold ‘em (also known as hold’em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer—a series of three (“the flop”) then two additional single cards (“the turn” and “the river”), with players having the option to check, bet or fold after each deal, i.e. betting may occur prior to the flop, “on the flop,” “on the turn,” and “on the river.”
