Only interesting thing about this article is that it may be part of a larger reversal of sentiment toward Facebook by the main stream media.
But I have felt for a while that the way you share on Facebook is geared toward kids & college students. Once you're grown up, the distinction between colleague, friend, and boss can get much blurrier.
I want to be able share some things with old friends from childhood, and other things with friends from work, etc.
I'm more sensitive to the fact that every email I send someone is an imposition, and had better be worth their time, because every email I get is yet another thing to deal with. I want a way to share things with people in a way that isn't "push".
I think a "Facebook for grownups" site that took these ideas into account could get a lot of traction. (Maybe such a thing already exists, but I haven't encountered it.)

- davi 18y agoI want to be able to share some stuff with group A (e.g. old friends), other stuff group B (e.g. project collaborators), with the option of having stuff I post to group A being invisible to group B (and vice-versa). I don't think FriendFeed can do this, but I'd be interested to learn if I'm wrong. [edit: related thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=451491 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=451491 ]
