As a German I don't use Facebook. Most of my friends also don't use Facebook. For me it's just a waste of time and doesn't make sense.

I'm not German and I don't use Facebook either. For the last few years, I've slowly noticed that people who use Facebook only do so because everybody else does and loathe it somewhat, but can't bring themselves to pull the plug because of network effects.

What I found interesting is the study that shows that Facebook depresses people, because all their friends put up their best moments and photos and so seem to have all wonderful lives.
