Event organization and birthday reminders are basically all that’s needed. I hear so many people bemoan the loss of Facebook of old for those two features.

Beyond that, I’m not even sure if being able to post things is worth it. Status updates such as relationship status and job might be worth it. But text content? Hmm. I fear it devolves into politics and other low quality discussion quickly. The modern Facebook brings out the worst in some of the best people I know. Sometimes we shouldn’t share our opinions so freely until we’ve thought about them more and refined them.

I guess that’s what made Google+ interesting. Knowing that you were posting to a specific circle, you could post more relevant content.
