Agreed that FB is pretty useless. That said, however, I have an FB page, used mostly to read about what my semi-friends and acquaintances are doing/feeling at the moment, and for me to update my status, sometimes on a daily basis when I'm feeling bored, almost like a Twitter account (which I don't and will never have). Most of the 'friends' on my FB page are people I've encountered on other forums (i.e., I haven't met them in person), a few co-workers, a few former co-workers, a college buddy or two, and one person I reconnected with from elementary school. I also have a myspace page which I haven't used in at least a year. I keep it up because I worked hard to create my page back when I was a myspace regular, and because I'm kind of a narcissist who likes to see digital representations of herself.
...More justifications, I know. But we're meaning-making beings who seem to need to have a reason for everything, so explanations are in order.
