What does web2.0 mean for me?
I need to wait for web pages to boot.

Gmail - boot progress indicator. Gmaps - boot progress indicator. Friend's blog with flickr photostream bar - no progress indicator, but appears to need to boot, freezing my browser while it does so. Slashdot - similar to friend's blog.

Am I alone in feeling that this isn't progress? Given that most of these things seem to involve my fans ramping up in speed, I strongly suspect it's javascript and not me just me being impatient at slow-to-download files.

On a number of websites, it's often Google Analytics that causes it. If that times out, it sometimes causes horrible delays - and it does time out sometimes. They used to recommend you put it at the bottom of your site (because of this), but now you need to put it somewhere further up for some link tracking stuff to work properly (because you need to define the functions before you can use them).

It's not only this, obviously, but that one gets on my tits.

Yeah, it was yours. Didn't expect it to go, just being a whiney fuddy-duddy.

Liked the maplin cynicism ;-)
