No, I meant that most people (yah, yah, I meant me but I do think it goes for most of my friends too) wouldn't post stuff to their walls if nobody ever gave feedback.

I.e. it's not just mindless egotistical "broadcasting", most people are sharing things they actually think some (not necessarily all) of their friends will like and respond to.

Groups, shops and suchlike are a bit different, their pages have a different newsfocus than personal FB pages and they probably don't expect that much feedback.

stacysue put it beautifully - it's like going to a community filled with only the people I care about. I am a lot more up to date with several of my friends now than before, and I like being able to share the little things in our lives too.
