My computer has a lot of memory and works fast. I am spoiled by the speed of the Internet. I have taken to keeping my Task Manager open to try and determine why my 'net experience slows down to a crawl and often freezes. That happened a lot when reading Obama '08 member community blogs.
It is hard to read the text on the bar "transferring date from Yield Manager" because the URL's or names flash so swiftly. The little hourglass wait symbol comes up as I wait. "Transferring data from Flicker" and "transferring data from "Photobucket" often whiz by as I sit staring at the screen unable to scroll or type.
A website is rather like a faucet. If there are a lot of people in the home and all turn on the hot water faucet at the same time, depending upon tank size the hot water is soon gone. Depending on the home, sometimes flushing a toilet will lower the water pressure at the kitchen sink. That is why this site often gets overwhelmed. Pulling images from other sites is like the decrease in water pressure. Everything else is like the size of the hot water tank, called memory or bandwidth.
As I watched that "transferring data from" I saw the spike in my Task Manager and available memory . I had wanted to comment on a couple of blog posts I read. They have moved to page two already as I commented on one of them. But once again I have to leave due to the memory spike.
20 blog posts per page and I counted 18 images in on the page. I did not count how many blog posts had images, but it was less than the number of posts without them. Some of those images are not related to Senator Obama. I often wonder how many images of Obama appear on Clinton and McCain's sites. I can not understand this obbsession with Obama's opponents. I wonder if members think people who come to Obama's campaign site to read about Obama are just dying to see pictures of other candidates. I do not and bothersome that I can not do what I wanted, read the interesting posts~because this obbsession with other candidates. C'est la vie.
