in Things To Do on Facebook on Chris Brogan
Um, actually, I guess it's the 'Information' box that's below the wall (it contains Contact Info and Personal Info). It's at the bottom for two reasons 1) it changes the least often
2) my friends are most likely to already know

Facebook is an active social network - as opposed to a passive one like LinkedIn. Both have their place, IMHO.
In a recent post, I also suggested that the biggest difference between Facebook and MySpace is:
MySpace = my space
Facebook = our space
In both cases (vs. LinkedIn & vs. MySpace) it's all in how you use it.
As far as keeping the wall near the top? Profiles can be rearranged by dragging and dropping. I have my personal/contact/work info below my wall and mini-feed.

in Facebook Launches Faulty New Feature on AllFacebook
I think the 'as you type' in a generic message part is new. Grabbing the title, description & images has always been part of the sharing functionality as far as I can remember.

in Why Facebook, why now? on Scobleizer
I use both LinkedIn (LI) and Facebook (FB), though FB takes up much more of my time because there is a ton more content to sift through. LI is my professional life and FB is my personal life - but both reflect existing offline networks. These networks would continue to exist if LI and FB ceased to exist tomorrow, it would just be more difficult to maintain them.
As reflections of my real-world networks, there are many people who are both my FB friends and LI connections but there are probably twice as many that are only one or the other.
Determining who is fit to be in each list is a grey area. If you know my home phone number, you probably qualify for my FB list - provided we've actually met face to face. The LI qualifications are much lower - almost non-existent, actually.
As far as content, if I wouldn't put it on my resume, it doesn't go in my LI profile. For similar reasons, there's a link to my LI profile from my FB profile but not vice-versa.
Which leads me to wonder why I broke my own rules and added you to my FB friend list...

in How Facebook Can Fix Their Ads on AllFacebook
What astonishes me about the advertising on Facebook is how poorly targeted it is (as you mention). The ads I consistently see on Facebook are national account CPM ads for things like the University of Phoenix and Classmates.com. Neither of which make any sense to me. From what Facebook knows about me (age & education), the ad system should realize that an ad for an online university is not likely to convert. The ads for Classmates.com are a complete mystery to me... why would I go there if I've already drank from the Facebook Kool-Aid?
If Facebook wanted to make some serious money with the display advertising, a) the flyers would go away, replaced by a paid distribution feature for the free 'Marketplace' and b) the CPM advertising system needs to get much smarter about who I am and what I'm likely to be interested in based on the wealth of information FB already knows about me. This isn't rocket science, is it?
