Same here.
I had just pitched my MySpace account overboard when my sister told me she was on FB and used it to keep in touch with a bunch of family members with whom she hadn't spoken in a long time (and I hadn't for even longer). I was estranged from my family for a good 15 years (it would take me another 15 to explain) and suddenly I'm talking to my grandparents and aunts & uncles whom I hadn't seen since I was a teenager. In fact I got to see a couple of those relatives for the first time in 25 years this last weekend so yeah, believe it or not it actually serves a worthwhile purpose for some. I don't bother with the games and block anything that isn't a bonafide post, but other than discovering a really cool band from the UK I basically just check it every so often like another email account.
