I think its a bloated one and unsuited to me. But I do know people who get some value out of it. It kinda makes me think of MySpace. I'm not sure if the service ever really collapsed or if it was the victim of a bubble. It's still good for bands. Rather than collapse, it seems to have contracted to its proper level. I think Facebook provides a niche service. Quite useful for some people in some circumstances but nothing that justifies its status as a behemoth. It tries to be all things to all people all the time and, in my experience, it just isn't. But it does have its place. Just not for me. I don’t think the service is, in and of itself, a bad one.

I never had a facebook, peoples' response is always "you're one of THOSE people". Yes, I am one of those people I tell them. They never try to convince me I should get one, they shrug or frown but present no argument, sometimes I get a sincere "good for you" or " I'm getting rid of my facbook some day" with a hopeless grin. I usually don't know what to say next. I get slightly uncomfortable like I'm a free person having a heart to heart with a prisoner, or like a rich fucker having a deep conversation with a homeless person, or like a racist prick having a genuinely meaningful conversation with a black person because of some odd circumstance. We both know we are going to go back to doing what we were doing, it's so sad. Just to clarify I don't think I'm better than people who use facebook, just freer. It's always useless trying to get people to quit, they have to do it on their own.
