Saviou i dont think everybody does what you said..there are some who use fb to connect with friends that one has lost touch with over the years..in fact i found some like that who i had lost touch many years back...its useful for finding people u know this way as u may not necessarily have their contact details. I too spend not more than 10 mins on FB..i cant do more than that coz it bores me then...i upload my paintings there for my friends to see plus pics of my kids etc that is easy to share with friends at one shot, exchange interesting articles etc. Besides you dont need to give access to your profile to all....restrict to people u know & block or ignore contacts from people you dont know. Yes i agree some people misuse the page & try and post nasty stuff...but u can always respond to it (like i did) and get them off it.
