I'd be shocked if I learned they didn't steal this idea from Google.

<edit> Not sure why downvoted. Google has had hobbled networks like this for a long time, for exactly the same reason.

I don't think it's a bad thing for Facebook to take this obviously good idea from Google and adopt it themselves. It seems that the only outcome is a better experience for users.

Probably being downvoted for using the word "steal". It has a negative connotation where there should not be one.

I didn't mean it negatively. It's a brilliant idea and worth copying.
