Comments on: Have yourself a merry Facebook Christmas?

The social-networking site, which has been experiencing explosive membership growth, sees record traffic on Christmas Eve.

Growing faster than you ever expected to is a good thing. The overseas server power may be a big issue though since the global network connection issues recently (cut undersea cables) shows that to be the most value to users you need to keep the data centers for these services CLOSE. Serving all the facebook traffic from the US just wouldn't work well.

I guess that we weren't really surprised also, at how many financial planners and wealth managers logged in to IFA Life (www.ifalife.com) on Christmas day too - a social network for financial advisers.

This is great news in such a terrible economic environment -- now Facebook just needs to focus on coming up with unique ways to deal with advertising so that users don't ignore it - advertising so useful that it becomes a service.
