As a user, I'm tied to Facebook's stratifications (ie. Friends, Friends of Friends, Everyone, and Facebook Networks). I think there's an even larger degree of freedom and control that could be explored.

On Facebook, I have chopped up my friends list into a typical grouping: grade school, high school, college, and individual companies where I've worked. I do find myself using my LinkedIn profile differently. Though I'm on LinkedIn far less than Facebook, I use LinkedIn for maintaining professional contacts whereas on Facebook, I'm more "personal" (i.e. I'll talk about non-work things).
