Limited customization – like that found on twitter, ning, and the like – as opposed to full customization – myspace *shudder* – or lack of (the majority) tends to lead to a more manageable solution.

The majority of interactions on Friend Feed however take place in the light grey text, tho, especially if it's an involved conversation… I don't think I've ever seen a conversation on Facebook last as long as the average Scoble conversation does!

Great point. I'm not as particular about UI (as long as it doesn't get in my way, which for me FriendFeed doesn't) but for most main stream users it is much more important. I'm curious do you find Facebook much better? Personalization is something most social networks don't usually do (or they do very limited options) unless you're MySpace then you do it to a fault :) GeekMommy. Great point.

There's something to be said for allowing a little customization via the web interface (Twitter figured it out) and no, we shouldn't have to use a 3rd party app just to be able to read it.
