I think flippy had a good observation in that you really don't meet people on FB, rather you meet people in other situations and then add them to FB.The only place to "meet" is through comments of mutual friends, but unlike a message board or live journal, you really get no insight about those other people.
Why we aren't here? I think FB still is the fastfood of online interactions, it's easy to skim and make non-committal responses and feel like you're actually connecting with the people you know. It's too easy.
But I definitely feel a gap - perhaps those folks a google can figure that one out and make us google + again?
