Stop worrying. I don't think TheManagement intend for this site to compete with or become another Facebook.
These new additions only serve to allow users to connect with other users here if they want to. The foundation of the site is still IIN questions and polls, that's what attracts people here, that's the USP of this site.
For example, YouTube isn't Facebook, but that has personal messaging functions, the ability to add friends, to subscribe, to enter into a public conversation etc. but primarily the website is still used to watch or upload video content, that's why people visit that site.
It's not a slippery slope to Facebook, it's an entirely different slope.

Trust me, 3 months from now we'll have Wall Comments and you'll be laughing at the notion that the Slippery Slope will go any further.
Please Management. It's Time.
