It's a matter of practicality though. Most people don't want to spend their life managing groups and preferences, dictating whether a particular update or photo is suitable for this audience or that - the return just isn't worth it. I'll also suggest that inevitably you're going to mess up and publish things to the wrong group and that you're safer with it as it is. I'm curious about things that you'd not want someone you profess to trust and call a friend to see, but are willing to put on a website which is outside your control which has a history of changing privacy settings with no warning and has shown few signs of interest in personal confidentiality.
