Someone I know quit FB at the age of 22, when his grandma tagged a girl that he liked and commented "you'd make such a great couple" or some such. Age separation is a big deal.

Oh yeah. With your grandparents, mom, friends, etc. watching. You barely post anything.
I think the biggest place where facebook fails, is making it easier to segment people and create groups.
Where you can easily setup a group, of say friends, and you can more openly post. Without telling grandma about how you dropped LCD at the concert two days ago and had a wild time.
You _can_ do this now, but it's clunky and painful.
One thing I liked about my 5 minutes on google plus was how easy it was to filter groups out of my post. Yea FB has filters now, but I think google did it better.

Probably close to 80% of my Facebook activities these days take place in group messages for exactly this reason. It's easy to add and remove people to/from a group message while still retaining context, so it works well for planning ad-hoc outings where the group of people involved is quite fluid in its membership.

Holy cringe... this is exactly the reason I tend to avoid Facebook in favor of the Instagram and such.
