Is there much value in the content on FB to those outside the social circle it is intended for? Most of my friends on FB post interesting blurbs, but it is time-specific and usually requires some insider information to be useful/interpreted.

One huge value: Targeted advertising. The FB scripts can tell your sexual orientation from your post content. I imagine they know a lot more than that too.
