In the past month or so I’ve noticed if you pause when typing a comment, or go back in what you typed to correct a word before posting the comment, Facebook’s mobile site will cut off your comment where you paused, or not show your change. Or sometimes fail to post the comment at all.

This started about the time that it started trying to bring up your friends to “tag” in a comment when you are typing (for example if you have a friend named “Ann”, if you start typing the word “announcement” Facebook’s mobile site assumes you want to tag her and her face pops up while you are typing). 

Why not just allow people to tag with the @ symbol, and go back to having comments work properly?  It is soooo frustrating to tap tap tap out a long comment in a tiny 3-line window, only to have a)none of it post b)part of it post or c)posts with the typos and bizarre autocorrects you painstakingly scrolled back and fixed–in that tiny 3-line window.

Another frustration with m.facebook.com is attempting to view a comment on a post on your page from a notification. Oftentimes it takes you to your page, not to the post. And, since the advent of timeline, that means sitting and waiting for 30-60 seconds (on fast wifi) for the page to load, only to not be where you expected once it finally does load. 

I’m amazed that a company with this amount of money would create products that perform so poorly for mobile. As mobile usage continues to grow, if they cannot keep up with the demand for quality access to their site, it opens the door for someone else to fill the gap.
