I agree (to an extent), with you, Macy....even though it took me awhile to figure out the runnings of, & of course, now they keep changing it, which I'm not too fond of, it gives me the ability to communicate with friends & family, many of whom I've not seen in years.....the private message part is invaluable to me!
I'm not one to broadcast the whole personal runnings of my life on FB, especially on a daily basis, but I do like being able to talk to friends about runnings in the message part.
Just recently, because I've been kinda stuck in Mia. for personal reasons, I was able to link up with two of my FB friends, Cathy & Renee, who were so generous about giving their time to help me move myself from one place to the next. I don't know what I would have done without them......
