    It's not dead, but probably will be in 5 years. I use it mostly for family and close friends now. I deleted a lot of people who added me and I just added them back but then realized there was no point.

    FaceBook is great for enabling me to keep in touch with useless friends/family who don't email, call or write; and also for making feel jealous any time anyone goes on holiday or gets a pet.

    I should get better friends/family.

    I love Facebook. It's a great way to keep in touch with my family who live at the other end of the country, and with friends I don't get to see often.

    There's an easy fix to this. I don't have people on my friend's list anymore who I am not genuinely happy when things are going well in their life.

    I check it, but i rarely post. I even more rarely "like" things. If something interests me, I'll use smurfing words and tell them, not click a stupid button that doesn't really say anything other than "i saw this comment and i think something about it"

    I use facebook to see what my friends are doing and some family. I am not in love with Facebook and would really prefer to use something else but that isn't going to happen and I don't think the other services really offer the sort of experience I am looking for so...whatever. It gets the job done well enough and I am no longer the MONSTER I was years ago where I would have endless bitched about it. Now I just do that IRL to my friends like Sephex.

    I use facebook for a few things
    1) Keeping in touch with what few friends I have
    2) Posting twisted and awesome art I find on the web
    3) Writing small little reviews of movies ive watched and games I've played
    4) Ranting and bitching. Primarily number 4. I love this one.

    You know... if it wasnt for #1 I'd just use tumblr exclusively. Seems like a better fit for me. I just hate trying to keep track of two websites like that. Takes up all my time.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    This is the only reason I have a Facebook account. I very rarely check it though. Too many of my family are illiterate and reading my news feed is just a painful experience. Also...

    - Person has invited you to play Candy Crush/Camelot/Farmville
    - "OMG, it's snowing/raining/sunny/overcast/inclement here!"
    - Like and share otherwise the bunnies in this picture will contract rabies
