No. I don't have any use for it at all.
Remind me again why its useful for me to know what kind of dump you had and what color snot you found up your nose?
If your a data miner or the NSA then facebook is amazing but for people who actually live a little or play games its amazingly useless or should I say for a stalker its the best tool out their!
I rarely see friends of mine post bullshit as such, they share a lot of bullshit but I don't care for it (the ignore/defriend/unfollow/unlike tools are there, set in place).
I like the pages that I want to keep updated with and favorite friends I want to see live feeds.
Communication is extremely easy, I don't need to use text services and can keep my chat history across multiple devices.
I can also login to multiple websites using Facebook login API (or other) rather then using the bullshit email format registration.
You can keep your data private to shield away from miners or stalkers. NSA? Well, too shay, you are already on the Internet, might as well disconnect from it if you are that paranoid.
Oh god, I bloody hate this "live a little", "people with lives", "get a life", are you implying those who use Facebook anywhere from 30mins up to an hour, two or more have no lives or very little natural interaction? I know people that "live" more than "little" and still use Facebook for what ever reason.
If you want to keep anonymous keep anonymous, who gives a **** about stalkers? Like, in all honesty. You have tools in place to prevent such problems occurring.
Oh and like I said, marketing plays a HUGE and I mean EXTREMELY HUGE role on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, G+ and so forth. If you are not on there, the reach of your businesses is going to be limited. Banners ads or video prerolls are now near useless (outside of brand building ofc) due to adblocks and lack of clicks. Facebook & Twitter and their advertisement opportunities as well as interaction with your fan/user base through those networks is extremely useful and important. In today's age, if you are not on Social Media, you are hindering your business. This is a key indicator that FB and other Social Networks are popular, important and nearly all businesses are creating some from of interaction through Social Media and their clients/fans. (by businesses I also mean celebs, communities, content creators etc). That and also increased SEO by being on Social Media. It all ties back down to the user and how they might find Facebook useful.
Of course if you don't care about being updated with your favorite ''celeb'', business, community (etc) or just don't care about FB at all, then I don't know what you are doing here in this thread.
Sure it's a gimmick, but so is every other single website. It can all be classified as "useless" but it makes lives easier, some more than others ofc.
I could honestly tap into pros, cons and other points but id probably be here for an hour or two, pretty useless. Apologies, no hostility intended.
