Hall of fame- facebook groups where some deep insight conversations on how to network are happening

Its my belief that :
1 facebook can be used to change the world , with a different level of success than almost any tool currently out there

BUT 
2 1 will not happen with the average way its users are using it

Before that sounds too arrogant, let see if we agree that the average user of facebook is conversing in ways that build that persons real (time, place) diaries and potential self-friendships. 

Next, if we are going to identify 2 types of peope in change world - those who want to help and those who defintely need it then friending across those 2 types would be relevant but I dont see very much of that happening at facebook's average conversations. 

Before journeying through some very unusual ways to use facebook, any challenges on the above?
