Is Facebook nothing more than a joke?

[Matt]

I am not, nor have I ever been a fan of Facebook, but at the request of my now ex-girlfriend I created one. At one point I had about 208 contacts on my Facebook "friends" list. When she broke up with me this number dropped to 100. It seems that when she removed me from her contact list a lot of people followed her. Then, because of the economy, I lost my job. Less than 24 hours later I lost another 95 people, my co-workers. This mass exodus I do not understand. Why would my ex co-workers delete me from their contact list? Oh well, I really don't care as I am about to close this thing down anyway.

All this has done is confirmed my belief in the beginning that Facebook is nothing more than a waste of time and that your "friends" here are not really your "friends" at all.

Does anyone agree?
