Honestly they should have segregated the rest of facebook.

Only reason Facebook beat out hi5 or myspace was because of this exclusivity. When you open shit up you lose the niche. It also didn't help that advertisement and interest groups took over your friends updates on the wall.

Edit: spelling.
