This article is getting a little older now, however, I am glad that I'm not alone in the world when it comes to F*c*b**k.
Maybe it's paranoia, but, if I want to keep in touch with friends, I call them, email them, or SMS them. If I want to organise an event, I do the same. If I want to share my photos, I email them links to my website/galleries. If I'm not in touch with people I grew up with anymore, there's a reason for it -- I was obviously not friendship material, and neither were they.
For a lot of people, it's a status thing -- "I have 2 million friends!" Grow up. They're not your friends. They're people you barely know from a bar of soap. I can count my friends on the fingers of one hand.
Edit: I forgot to mention, F*c*b**k is actually a worldwide problem in business. Employees, instead of getting paid to do work, are getting paid to refresh spacebook. And, lastly, someone I know works in an executive IT recruitment firm, and they told me that it is nowadays standard practise amongst all firms to visit a potential employee's spacebook and see what kind of riff raff they hang out or associate with.
But, hey, if it works for you and makes you happy, more power to you.
