One is for socialising, arranging things between friends (you already know) and the other is the exchange of ideas and information. Facebook won't replace forums.

Facebook? Facebook is just too hard to use. No good menu structure, all the pages look the same and different, no automation, so much wasted time. Every "web 2.0 Layperson" I talk to can't figure it out or finds it pointless and/or unintuitive. I can appreciate the need you're talking about, but unless the UI is improved and you can get some kind of dashboard that lets newcomers understand it and figure out how to use it and how it can benefit them quickly, Facebook won't unify anything. -M Seriously?
