I think that Facebook, in terms of being "good or bad", is relative to the person being asked.
I have spent a large amount of time and effort to start my life over in a different country, culture, language and such, not to forget placing 6 timezones between the people involved in my "community of my hometown". Why in the name of all that is logical would I wish to place my location and life in the internet where these people, who I have finally managed to dust off my shoes, would have easy access to my current personal enjoyment of life? In my case it would be similar to pissing into a gail force wind. A shower I can certainly do without!
Others may be of another opinion here, but hey... I've lived quite fine without such a social network and will continue to live without it. Then again, I have a sort of social network within a few forums like this one. Most of my social contact are real rather than virtual.
Fact is... if one were to "google" my name (real name), you' be hard pressed to find much about me there, in spite of my (short) career as a professional cyclist, professional trainer, part time model and published author. I like the quite, some don't...
Meow!

Moral is as moral does and as moral wishes it all too be. - MoS
The absence of all empirical evidence for the necessity of intuitive X existing is evidence against the necessary empirical existence of intuitive X - MoS (variation of 180proof)
Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS
I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS
