Usertesting.com results on Facebook's usability

Found the title of this post misleading, I thought there would be evidence of users actually leaving facebook due to the usability problems.

I wonder what the "last straw" will be if there ever is one.

How about the fact that Facebook doesn't even work for many people when using Chrome on OS X. The only time I check Facebook for even 30 seconds is when I'm willing to open Safari, and that isn't more once every couple days.

as long as people can get their fix of peeking into their friends' lives, no one is leaving the FB dealer on account of usability

Yeah, agreed that this wasn't a good title. I'll edit it.

nah, people will leave for usability in a heartbeat if there's a good alternative -- that good alternative could be the goog in a few years if fb doesn't take care (remind me, how long as fb been around now?)
