I would spend most of my time on facecrack deleting the rubbish. I have never missed it.

Its all in how you configure it. By default, it is set to be as annoying as possible, emailing you whenever anyone you know does pretty much anything.
A few minutes in the account settings can work wonders.
I also use greasemonkey and a userscript called facebook fixer which lets me dump all the stupid notifications about games, who friended who, all the ads, etc.
After setting it up the way I want it, I love facebook. It's enabled me to reconnect with a ton of old high school friends, and let's me keep in touch with peeps without actually having to be involved in their day to day lives.
It's been good for my businesses too. Now that we're all grown up, many of my former high school alumni have become valuable business network contacts.

Facebook fucking sucks. If I have to explain myself one more time to some moron online, or offline, why I do not have a facebook account and why I refuse to become a Twatterer I think I will just bypass the explaining and punch them hard ion the face.
aaaaaand....relax.

I feel the same. No one had grilled me on my choices of site membership, but the vast majority of people who use those services have no life. I already have no life, but I have a lot more fun blowing up alien heads in the games I play than just reading how many friends of friends are doing their laundry.
