The beauty of FB is that you can control who you interact with to a large extent (I did get yelled at for the first time on FB by someone I don't know over an opinion on Prop 8)and you can do so on a more intimate level than programs like Twitter. It seems to me the more open venues are filled with too many haters and intolerant ranters. Some of us, especially the e-uncool, are not necessarily drawn to the next big thing.

I've been part of some social network for over 10 years now...and I don't know that its possible for one to be everything for everyone. I do agree with you that there mailbox feature is too primitive, and their attempt to simplify the interface made it less user friendly, but personally for me the draw is the people that I am connected to...not the features. So as long as I can interact with my friends I don't care what the next big thing is. God knows I don't want to be on chat or phone all day long...
