Agree. facebook made me unhappy, but it does give value to a lot of other people. For example, the older members of my family use facebook to keep in touch with friends in a way that wasn't possible before. You didn't see lots of grandmothers on myspace.

Facebook stopped being a fad and became a staple. People who could not fathom using new technology bought a netbook and learned to use it just to find long lost acquaintances and keep in touch with their sons. It's not just chatting, but it's about the core experience: "We are in this together". Photos, silly daily updates and videos make distance less painful.
