One point Mark Zuckerberg made in his interview with Bambi Francisco was that Facebook was a collection of networks, not one big network and that you would only have access to those in the network you select for your self: university, regional or work. However, after spending a bit of time on the service, I'm not 100% sure that's the case. I would expect the deal with Microsoft probably motivated the "opening up" of Facebook to some degree. More users = more advertising reach. On the surface, that's not good for users, but it depends how Facebook handles it. Thanks sebastians.
