ayifberror.jpgIt’s not just Match thats broken, I just saw these two blunders on Facebook. “Come back in a few days.” What???? This is barely acceptable on a free site based on a very basic platform.

No wonder it’s so cheap. Even Match advertises on HotOrNot, is that really a viable market for them? Wonder what those conversion rates are like.

    I have experienced the problems on facebook when using certain apps. I usually just try again or try selecting the app from a different area of my profile.

    Facebook has also had times of the day where you go to log in and it goes “page not displayed” in IE explorer and firefox. I asked some of my friends and they experienced this too. It was quite annoying.
