Things I like about facebook, beyond what you and elizabeth have mentioned:
Makes my day more fun by showing me amusing things.
Shows me interesting discussions that I can join in a low-stakes way, and yet the discussions still go places.
Introduces me to people I don’t know via those interesting discussions, making it a bit easier to get to know them in real life.
Helps people around me run events that I’m invited to.
Helps me get answers to quick questions I have.
Shows me aspects of friends’ lives that I wouldn’t otherwise be aware of.
Lets me poll my friends about topics of interest.
Created a centralised messaging system that ~everybody uses.
