Linked-in is annoying. I only keep getting emails from the "Groups" I joined because i actually got connected to a couple useful tutorials.
Facebook is okay as long as you don't post anything you don't want the world to know about. And hide posts from friends who annoy you. I've found it useful for sharing some photos and videos.
I personally think the big thing about facebook in the beginning was that people were on a sort of ego trip to see how many "friends" they acquire.
That could be useful for someone running a business—for instance an artist i know is promoting a show coming up.
Otherwise, yeah it can be a big time-suck, especially if you use it to avoid doing something else you don't want to do.
