I can't see the news-worthyness of this either. Facebook has 6 months of stuff in the pipe, but hasn't been deployed to the general public. Is this important?

I can't see the news-worthyness of this either. Facebook has 6 months of stuff in the pipe, but hasn't been deployed to the general public. Is this important? It's impossible to tell. It all depends on how they quality control and implement changes. Facebook is very interconnected and giving it a third leg might cause a complication in how it runs. How it appears, given that my wife's facebook can be on a server down for maintenance and my account works perfectly fine, is that it might be in the facebook backend, but it could be taking them months to safely roll it out without downing their entire network. Furthermore, who knows what will get released. I could have 3 blog posts in the works, but I might drop one or two if it becomes irrelevant before posting. I don't get why facebook is seemingly not allowed this courtesy, maybe it isn't in Facebook's best interest to create a segregated network when whites/blacks men/women dogs/cats can't access each others profiles or send messages to each other. However, it might have a good idea, IE the ability to block people who are harassing or spamming you.
