Exactly.

+1. It is *my* page with my friends on it, not *my friends'* page. They may post the content, but I control whether or not they appear on it.

+1
+1 on the icon, as well

No.

It's all of our friends on one page, hence "Friends Page"

The content may be owned by our friends, but they are "our" friends.

The current is correct.

Think of it not as your friends page, but as a page about tomatoes. You can declare it "My Tomato" page or "My Tomatoes Page", suggesting perhaps that it is about several different kinds of tomatoes. It doesn't belong to your friends, it's a page pertaining to them.

Think of it not as your friends page, but as a page about tomatoes.

I do this anyhow.

Heh. I wish it didn't refer to "friends" at all - many of the journals I read regularly do not in any real way belong to "friends" of mine at all.

Which is why I've subtitled mine mine "who I'm reading."

My page does not belong to my friends. It is a page consisting of my friends. Therefore, I don't see the need for the apostrophe. It's not possessive.
