I have a Facebook account and might check it once a day. I got dragged on to it by a dear old friend I don't really understand the point of it. From time to time I get friend requests which I usually accept; a few people I knew in high school and a number of people I knew from a BBS back in the late 80s and early 90s. As near as I can tell what Facebook does best is allow people to ignore each other while pretending to be keeping in touch.
I also have a Live Journal account which seems to work better for keeping in touch with people you want to keep in touch with. Atleast until all your friends start spending every waking moment doing heavens know what on Facebook.
