There are some things i like about facebook. And i am addicted to it, i'll admit that. i go on about 2 or 3 times a day, and feel a big sense of accomplishment if i get a day so busy i don't have time to go on it.
I use it to plan things with my close friends as I don't ring people and texting is a bit hit or miss (well with some of my friends anyway due to lack of credit or being KNOBS). If i send them a message on facebook they usually get back to me pretty sharpish.
its also quite nice to see what links other people put up. I have gotten a lot of my music taste from stalking people on facebook (especially pretty girls with good music taste or cool guys). Beirut and Laura Marling being recently examples after talking to a girl I liked about music. obviously I was just trying to make convo because I liker her but I really do LOVE this music
And of course there is the general humour links from my slightly nerdier friends, and you do get a LOT of laugh out loud moments when browsing some of their facebooks.
Then you have the girls I knew from school. Now this is facebooks bad side. and all of you who have facebook know what im talking about. Post after post of spazoidness.
The only other problem I have with facebook is people who reveal too much. I must admit I've done it, without thinking '200 people can see this when it is perhaps aimed at about 20-30, what will they think?' I've removed a lot of my info now, but my 'about me' section is still available for all to see...i',m not sure why.
P.S. people on here who have added me, my apologies for not accepting you but i don't want you interacting with my IRL friends (although you're obviously better!
), plus we have this little pllace for staying in touch with each other!
So as a conclusion i say one thing...Facebook isn't gooseberry fool. your friends are gooseberry fool.

I hate the way that my comments on peoples status updates appear on completely unrelated peoples news feeds. 
I'm really close to dumping the thing. Awfully intrusive technology.

I ignore all the bullshit apps and post as little info about myself as possible, but I do think Facebook ultimately is a very useful tool. Many of my friends are spread out all over the world, so it's a convinient way for me to stay in touch. For instance, before Facebook, I probably wouldn't have remained in contact with many of my Japanese friends who I went to uni with, and if I visited Japan a few years down the line it would've been a bit weird calling them out of the blue. With Facebook that's not much of an issue.
There are a lot of people on my profile that I have no real intention of seeing again, who I sometimes think of de-friending, but then if someone de-friended me - even if I didnt like them - I would get a bit upset

Anyone who regularly updates a Twitter who doesn't have their own Wikipedia page is a narcissistic douchebag.

The above pretty much sum up my opinions on facebook. There are a small kernel of people I have who I actually give a strawberry float about, in terms of what they're doing, interesting/amusing links they put up etc, but the rest are either (a) hidden, because I don't care what time-wasting game they're playing, (b) keep joining groups (with generally passive-aggressive or "I am the way I am and I don't give a fck if u liek it or nt") like there's no tomorrow, or (c) making cliched statements and observations about being strong, keeping going and all that asinine bullshit without any form of context, making the same "got to get up early/go to bed" statements EVERY DAMN DAY.
Plus I have the group of people I knew from uni, who I only accepted invites from (I didn't go out of my way to seek their social networkingness) out of politeness, and after graduation have no desire to see or hear from them again, as most of their posts are about gigs i'm not going to or how drunk they got/are going to get.

I like it.
We're in the process of arranging some paintballing trip using it. Yippee!
