To me facebook is just a major waste of time. Surely, it can be a convenient tool of communication, just like a cellphone or AIM. However, some people are taking this too far. It seems that some maintain profiles just for the sake of it like some sort of internet tamagotchi. All this applies to the LiveJournal as well which is even more of a bandwidth/time waste. On the other hand, nobody makes you read all that so feel free to pull the lever to your right to stop caring and close facebook/whatever tab in your browser.

I myself don't have a facebook or LJ page and don't feel like having one. There's only one thing about LJ and such sites that is quite annoying and hardly avoidable at the same time: sometimes all that usless content really clogs up internet search with irrelevant search results, for example when you search for some abbreviation such as machinery's factory marks trying to get technical readouts and get completely irrelevant stuff.
