* had the right balance of privacy settings and public people discovery
* was a safe space where not everything is public, granular control of what is shared to whom
* faciltated conversations between people that know/respect each other
* was chaotic, people using it in their own way / for their own purposes
* used real names, non-anonymity
* used the social graph = relationships, NOT lists/tables
* introduction of news feed was widely hated, but spiked engagement like nothing else
* the facebook platform allowed integrated widgets/games as a win-win for facebook and widget/game devs
* groups kept people there
* “shipping features is way more fun than making things safe and secure”
