I actually despise the wall-like short-attention-span interface of Facebook. I prefer to sit down once every few days and read everything my friends have been up to as though it were a book or news site.

I don't like having to check multiple times a day to catch stuff or find things that appear low on my page below things I've already read.

Similarly, while I agree that FB makes links and photo posting painless, I disagree that it is prettier. It's not ugly, but it's also not prettier.
