I don't know that Zuckerberg ever considered it a "people-meeting" service.

  That's exactly the purpose a literal face book served before Facebook implemented a digital equivalent. Granted, it's not been the sole purpose of the site for quite a while, but originally that was the value proposition for users.

  Back in 2009, you could join, I think, two "networks" and easily search and browse within those networks, firing off messages to anyone who seemed interesting. IIRC, that functionality disappeared a few years ago. Now FB is almost entirely a way to connect with people you already know, rather than a way to actually meet people.
