You're right that yearbooks are not terribly useful on a day-to-day basis since it's static. However, I think Facebook's value comes from the organic nature of the site.

Of course your social graph will morph over time -- Facebook will hopefully make that as frictionless as possible. Facebook is a history of yearbooks.
