I'm on there and I'm quite old... (36! 
)
I think it has its place, good for catching up with old friends, people you used to work with etc. I like it

Very true, quite often the stunners at school are now somewhat ropey, and the less beautiful ones have blossomed!!!!
Same with blokes, all the cool dudes are now bald and fat!

Firstly, I think it is safe to say that the kind of people who get the most out of Facebook are not always the kind of people who spend their time on internet car forums, meeting in fields and car parks admiring the defi-gauges and MAF sensors of the car with the stickers on. There are some exceptions to this though 
For me, it has been a great way to get back in touch with old friends. I didn’t lose contact with these people because I didn’t like them, nor did I tire of their wit and charisma. I lost contact because I got into relationships with ladies (lots of ladies) and life moved on.
Some of these people emigrated to places like Perth and Sydney over on Criminal Island and now we are back in touch. It’s excellent to have caught up with some of the good folk here in Blighty and I expect to see many of them at my wedding reception in 13days time
Sometimes we use it to message each other as a group to sort nights out etc (for those who don’t use email at work).
It’s excellent for posting up pics of nights out for all your mates to see and comment on.
The instant messenger tool allows you converse that little bit more than with text, but when a full on phone call still isn’t required... Remember, men only use telephones to arrange stuff. Men do not talk about stuff... Imagine a bloke ringing an old friend he hasn't seen and asking them how they’re feeling etc... Just arrange what time your getting to the pub and mock your pals choice of football team a little... You don’t need to talk! 
It helps turn acquaintances into friends. The chap in the pub that you normally grunt “alright” to in your local now knows your name and, from your status update is aware you are hit-man for hire or the world champion at wii sports tennis (although you can’t be that because I am)...
The friends of mine on there range from 24 – 40 years old. Kids should be on Bebo and the likes. Losers should be on Linked-in and there is even an old persons version of facebook via Saga...
If you are popular now or were popular in the past with people aged 18 – 40 who know how to use a computer then facebook can be a useful tool.
I recommend it – just ignore all the requests to have apps... Apps are poo...

I don't like them (social networking sites). My creepy **** of an ex liked using bebo as a means to inflate his already oversized ego (He was addicted to teenage networking site at the age of 31, how very sad). I agree with things like myspace to showcase your work (Producers/Bands/DJs), but he took the DJ thing too far. Any bit of skirt that would show him any attention he'd try to bed (and at times was successful).
Just a new tool for cheats/rats/snakes. Barstewards, the lot of them.

I was nearly tempted to log back on earlier today (you can NEVER delete your profile you see, Facebook does not let you) to check out someone my mates had found on there............but luckily when i left i spent a day deleting all my friends, pics, wall posts, apps etc One by One (yep, you have to do that yourself, Facebook will not do it for you) so there is nothing left to log back on to
