I have no car, a lot of my friends are several hours away by public transport (even here in San Francisco), my birth family lives on another continent, and my wife's extended family lives on a different continent again. I couldn't manage without the internet, but somehow I manage just fine without facebook. I've kept a FB as a sort of notebook in case I need to find someone, but I think I've only logged in once or twice this year. At this point, I think everyone I care about is on LinkedIn.

I'm not for or against FB; it's not my cup of tea, but I might not be like the typical user. What I don't understand is the 'forced to use facebook' meme that comes up every time someone is unhappy with some changes there.
