I recently saw the same feature with the same name on two different websites, Planzo and Facebook. “The Wall” is a common area associated with your profile where other users can leave comments, a sort of public one-shot guestbook. Both services have Walls and they seem too similar to me:

Facebook’s Wall Feature

Planzo’s Wall Feature

   My guess is, they are either:

   1) Really, really popular…
   2) Both sites belong to the same owner, and he forgot to change the themes…

   I think I will agree with Luis on that.
