I have found that Lailai's initial post quite useful. Thanks Lailai. I was noticing that there were times it was taking forever to get the whole page to load and usually the SB was the last to load. The SB is an important feature for me and if I am navigating around the forum while I am conversing in the SB, I don't want to wait for Facebook to load so I can carry on my conversation. I do Tweet somewhat but have no desire to use Facebook or Myspace. I lead an uneventful life and have nothing productive to post. I have my Twitter account and my Youtube account and that fits my needs quite well. Oh, and of course I have my account here as well So that just about takes care of my "Social Networking" needs.
