And I just decided to pop in to agree with mrbigstuff, in that I believe blooz pretty much nailed it.
One other thing I find that makes me really like (and use) this place and not use Facebook very much, is the anonymity of MRF. Because I have friends and business acquaintances (and potential clients) who frequent Facebook, I'm much more concerned about having a reason to post anything there. I fear they might have the same reaction I do to half the stuff I read there. That is, who cares? Here, I don't mind looking like an idiot or asking a dumb question. At FB, there might be the illusion of a good reputation I might have to protect.
In a nutshell (at least for me), at MRF the important thing is what is being discussed. At Facebook, the important thing is who is discussing.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, and maybe I just have to give FB more of a chance.
Or not.
