I wouldn't call myself an expert on a facebook wall but I have frequently checked them out and other social networking tools, as the people I've been following uses them. For example, THIS is a facebook wall for Noah Ringer, the lead actor for The Last Airbender film. Does it look anything like this "Message Wall"? I honestly don't think so. A facebook wall is pretty much a user bloglist page with preloaded and expandable comments... and no wikitext. This "Message Wall" is for people who wants to post to the user, NOT reply posts from the user. Maybe, wikia is looking for a similar look and feel, and wants to advertise the ease of use of a facebook wall to new users. Whatever their motive is, maybe we should stop thinking about how similar it is a "facebook wall" and more about how this communication tool can be used to reach out to new users and fans. Function first. Hype later. Peace out.
