Sthg to think about imo, particularly as most probably aren't aware of this:

I really wish you could hide friends list from people on it. Until you can do that it isn't going to work for me.

(I don't want my two friends to know there's only one more)

I'm not sure I understand this.

Facebook is a nice way to share & comment on friend & family photo's.It's also a very average email system.

What is on there that needs to be kept private anyway? If someone really wants to see me in my board shorts - good luck to them.
