Exclusivity by needing a .edu email to register.

This, at first.

Now I think the uniformity of it helps. If I'm clicking through I don't have to see someone's terrible background and a shitty song doesn't start playing.

Except now FB will auto-play videos in the news feed, but you can disable that, same as you could disable the songs on MySpace, which I just assume everyone did.
