Well, like the Americans say ... "Good for you!"
For me tho, It's very convenient. I live abroad, even tho I am Venezuelan I live in Panama and move between Venezuela, USA and Panama all the time. Several of my friends are so spread out , some living in the American Continent, others in Europe and others in Asia and Australia that honestly, there's no better way to keep in touch with them. If your friends/relatives all live an easy train ride away yep, good for you, mine are spread all over the WORLD and only way I can keep talking and joking and just plain socializing is through FB.
Yes, FB sux, with their data mining (Nothing Banks and the Govt in the US/Panama/Venezuela didnt know about anyway) and their ads are worthless to me as I never buy stuff through them, only data miner company that owns a chunk of my habits is STEAM, FB is just filled with me bluttering random nonsense and sending venezuelan themed youtube videos to my friends/family abroad plus occasional funny video to my family + pics.
If you want to avoid using those services great, but that bull**** service is what keeps me in touch with the world.

There's really a place for people to step up with truly private instant messengers and services like facebook. Awhile back i heard about an IM program in development which was going to be encrypted with no central node things had to pass through, but i don't think it ever got anywhere.
The closest thing to that that works today is filtering yourself through TOR.

I used to have a facebook page, and I found it extremely useful for keeping in touch with international or interstate friends. I had been thinking about deleting it for about two years, but couldn't justify the loss of functionally.
But recently, my local police department got given the power and tools to search facebook images without permission, warning or even a notification that your images had been searched, and in a fit of anti-orwellianism, I deleted it.
Feels good man.
OMG MY MIDGET and TRANNY **** PICS!!! Nooooo :(((((

Some people don't live in one place their entire life and sometimes move around, even all over the world. FB is a great tool to keep everyone under one roof and quickly and efficiently stay in touch with whom you want to stay in touch.
Twitter is for narcissistic d!ckheads, though.
Well, that depends on who you follow :P for instance, I love this guy's tweets.

no fb here. this is because I have no real compulsion to keep in touch with everyone I ever met. usually because: I don't really like most of the people I have met (or only met them through a job or college course) or I owe them/their company money. 
I also don't stay 'friends' with ex's and I don't really want them stalking me and jerking off over my profile photos for the rest of their life. that kind of thing really ..
This is my Facebook status today, pure gold <sniff><sniff> QQ
+1 Internetz to you my friend.
