It was a bunch of siloed social mini-networks who's only common factor was the account, and given its "media company" form, and who called the shots, I doubt there was ever a realistic prospect of connecting them into something combined and semi-coherent like Facebook.

That friends list could chat, play sports, send emails, play chess, probably other things (those are all I did). It wasn't formal in that there wasn't an activity stream (as far as I remember; I didn't work there and I was like 13 at the time) in each silo, but people I met playing chess moved to chat and then to other games.
