facebook getting killed by embeds

They call it viral marketing and it is the basis of their success and their downfall. What is a site that is being blocked by networks all over the world (now maybe in small numbers but wait...) because they are eating too much traffic.

Facebook is eating enormously much traffic. But wait. It is not facebook it are more or less the facebook profiles that are eating so much traffic. And even if you visit facebook there are high traffic services like photo's that you could be able to block also.

It is not up for the network admins to try to keep uw with all these changes. Facebook - if it wants to survive in business networks - should make a light edition and a full edition. This way you can block the access to the profiles from other sites and limit access to facebook itself to the the parts of the websites that are text intensive.

Otherwise, your free service is too expensive for our bandwith.....

This counts also for ebay embeds for example....
