Almost all of the complaints I've heard about Facebook from college students stem from the amount of time "wasted" on it. However, all of this time is spent interacting with other people on the service, actively or not. So, it is hard to see how one could make a Facebook-esque service where the problem of time being "wasted" is solved without destroying the very point of the service.

The whole site is designed to be addictive and encourage more pages / more time. (I mean, duh. That's how they make their money. It just ends up sucking for users.)
