Facebook Tops the Slowest Social Networks

Watchmouse released a report earlier today listing the overall performance of the top social networks on the web. Among the top ranked sites were Orkut, MeetUp, Tagged.com, Jaiku and Pownce. Unfortunately Facebook ranked as the absolute worst performance among all social networks. I’m not quite sure what standards were used for this test but this is definitely something that Facebook shouldn’t be aiming to be the worst at.

As Caroline McCarthy points out, somehow Twitter managed to perform well overall despite the massive amount of downtime attributed to the site.
