I miss before the feed existed. People would just update their page and Wall and you'd have to look around to see what people has changed (you could just see they made an update".

The Wall itself was just an insecure text box, so you could say something and identify yourself as whoever you wanted (there was no linking here) and they had no way to know who actually typed it.

I hated it as soon as the feed came out, really hated when it became open more widely (I was a college kid mad the little kids were coming to mess up the playground)

I kinda stopped using it much as soon as high schools could join. I would log in every couple months and remember I still don't care about any of these people. Then I finally made the move last year to download my data and delete the account. Haven't looked back.
