Well you should have gone to the pub after fitting the forks.

There's no way that I'd have anywhere near the level of contact with people by just using email/photo sharing/skype. There are some people whom I would certainly have fallen out of contact with, despite being very good friends at some point, but have kept in touch and met up again in the real world thanks to the ease of communication facebook provides. For example I recently started an 'event' saying I'd be in Copenhagen for a week and inviting others to come that week too. It took 10mins to invite dozens of people I met at uni there (instead of several hours of email/phone calls/letters) and now I'm meeting friends from Italy, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Canada there. That's a good thing.
The Big Brother element is a real concern but I'm pretty sure the Forward Intelligence Teams know all about me already. It's not a terribly popular thing to say at the moment, especially among the fairly hippie/lefty/dirty student circles in which I move, but facebook actually improves my life quite a bit and lets me spend LESS time on a computer.
