My family makes good use of Facebook. I am talking with cousins with whom I haven't spoken in years. When your family is spread out across the entire country and beyond, FB is a great way to share photos and anecdotes with no fuss, no muss. I wish they'd stop screwing around with it because I really like it.
:agree:
I still use FB, although I like it less than I used to. Partly due to the recent changes in the interface, and partly just the natural evolution of it (especially the proliferation of links to captioned photos etc.). The novelty has completely worn off. I just deleted about 25 people from my friends list and that helped reduce the clutter. I block people who make too many political posts (even if I'm on their side); that's not what I use FB for. Business either: if you're main thing is promoting your stuff on Etsy, you're gone. I want to know what my friends and family are doing, and FB is still good for that.

That's crazy-talk! Seriously.
The bad part of FB for me: Email killed letter-writing, and Facebook is killing email. So my friends wbo are not on FB have tended to be neglected, but I am taking steps to reverse that.
