Is the facebook friends confirmation slow or what? Facebook has updated the system since the last time I poked around in it and now it seems to take a a few delayed moments to add somebody to your friends list. It’s not instantaneous like the other features of the facebook system.

When you click the “add a friend” button it asks you to enter the secret code but there isn’t actually one there initially. The Security Check box just sits there and takes a minute before the verification code finally pops up. I’m not sure why it dawdles like that but if you’re not patient you might figure something is wrong, quit the application and try again later, like I did a couple of times.

It so happens that I sat there just long enough one time pondering what the issue could be and the rest of the validation screen finally appeared. You have two words separated by a space that you type in and then the friend is added.

Other than that inconvenience I am working facebook like a champ this year. Don’t have an account already? Go ahead and add one now and you can add me as a friend. I’m taking social networking to a new level this year. How about you?
