"but we also believe in fast loading pages" Is that for your benefit, or your users? Either way is a good answer, I just think you should know the answer. The word "believe" prompted this comment. If you have icons 1-10 on tab A, and icons

pair.com has worked very well for me, for ten years or so. It's freebsd shared hosting, but if you're willing to consider gapps this is reasonable too. Includes two or three web interfaces, as well as imap.

"the fact that the settings are confusing enough that people are exposing information that they want to keep private is pretty damnable." The information is being exposed, not because of confusion, but because Facebook wants the information

I hope they get far enough for people to use it. My objection to twitter the instant I saw it was that it required a single host/company, unlike email that can be hosted by individuals or companies and offered on any terms imaginable.

Yeah, Halliburton is going to save us. More likely they'd want to license their "technology" to other patent trolls.

I'd go farther and guess (guess) that major investors have said something like "well, we invested all this money, now we want major returns." What we've seen would then be reaction to that. And if you're a FB employee, no disrespect to you.
