This. The only reason I maintain a FB profile is because I use it as a glorified address book, especially for people that I meet abroad.

I email/text close friends and family but if I want to get in touch with a past friend/travel companion/acquaintance, FB makes that easier.

Saying that, a lot of people I come across now have also stopped actively using FB and are very involved in Instagram. I found it odd that co-workers so easily and quickly follow an Instagram feed but FB, email, personal cell #s usually took longer to exchange. I'm assuming because with Instagram, there's a degree of curation and it's personal but not too personal.

I also found it odd that peoples' dogs had IG profiles and they would use those profiles to follow other co-workers' dogs. To each their own, I guess.
