I’ve started using it to organize random events with my friends. Create a group called “I want to go Kayaking with Tina”, and when enough people join, create an Event and invite them all. It’s a nice way of keeping track of which of your friends wanted to do what, and then actually doing it.

I can't count how many times in the last days I've heard the question "What's Facebook for? Isn't it just complete waste of time?" Well, anything you don't have use for is complete waste of time. The thing with Facebook (and with most social networking services) is that you have to define how you use it yourself.

I've found use for Facebook: I'm adding everyone I've ever met, aiming to create a "complete" list of people I kind-of-know. I've chosen to ignore all silly app requests and concentrate on documenting my relationships. For now it's fun, which in itself is a good reason to use an app. But I've also reunited with old colleagues, got freelance jobs for my friends, got job requests, birthday party invitations, etc.

I quite Facebook,of course, it was a complete waste of time. I was embarrased everytime I log on, everytime I added a new application that forever asked me to send something to my “friends”:-)

There's an opening for someone to make a social network that honors and models the separate but overlapping networks of your real life... WINK!

And I'll add you on Facebook. ;)

Came to the same conclusion, after trying to keep it private and real-friends-only. It’s tough to reject an friend invitation from your boss etc. And after that, the only way forward is to keep it as your public contacts book, and not to publish anything too private.

The ability to comprehend what actually happened in your life without a tool like this is or can be very limited. Facebook, I think, is like the broken phone game in writing.

I hope Facebook stays “cleaner” than MySpace.
