IMHO, I think that the best feature of facebook is that you can share things (links, video, music), with a subgroup of friends. In example, you if you have a group of friends that you know that they love music, you share music videos with them. (and only with them). Another example, the familiar christhmas photos, you'll share only with members of your family (another subgroup of friends).
