Facebook is actually incredibly useful to me, the Events feature in particular. It's how I find out about a lot of happenings. I don't use it to post photos a lot. FB chat helps me keep in touch with people I might not think of keeping in touch with otherwise. However, my news feed is very filtered, because I have too many friends.

I don't tweet, I've always found it annoying, and reddit was just as good for keeping track of news with (sometimes) better discussion.

reddit is for killing time with funny things, interesting things, some news, and occasionally good discussions. With the value of reddit's content decreasing (which I know is why a lot of us are here), I get that post-redditing depression more and more.

I agree with you about Facebook events, I think it's one of the most useful things on the site.

Agreed, it was the only feature that really ever added value to my life. But for me was still not worth the many negative aspects on the site.
