@jason_kint@jbenton I personally applaud their self-awareness at how crappy their websites are

@jhamby@om@benthompson@jbenton really interesting point. Any benefit from pre-fetching on 3G has a cost to it, right? -

@om@benthompson@jason_kint@jbenton Facebook can make sure that there is an 8 second disadvantage easily enough. Fb is the mobile browser -

@om@benthompson Facebook Instant seems like missed opportunity for Akamai, to bundle instant app with its services... +@davewiner -
@om@benthompson@jason_kint@jbenton i think the eventual beneficiary of this sterilized media is the local property, not the well-built.
