Do I care about facebook?

I rarely use my myspace account. My friends are mostly people I see every day. Their friends appear to be mostly people they see every day.

Myspace always struck me as mostly warmed-over America Online. Hard to believe now that seven or eight years ago AOL was supposed to be the hottest thing on the planet and it briefly had so much money it was able to buy Time Warner. In 2015 I think they'll be talking about myspace the way they talk about AOL today – which is to say barely at all.

So now here's facebook and it certainly looks saner, for lack of a better word, than myspace, but I'm not sure I see that it has any value for me. I'll be happy to entertain other opinions, though.
