Is facebook useful or not?

Is it useful if you're actually active on it and leave comments to people you want to build deeper relationships with or is it better to just stick with the phone/texting? How about for connecting with people you would never meet otherwise?

but after attending these parties/events, if you come across someone you want to keep in touch with, isn't it easier just to facebook them as a friend rather than exchanging numbers and going about that way? Were you able to develop a stronger bond because of it?
 
Great for finding info about events. Also, I've gone on a few dates from the site. Just added a friend of a friend that I've never met, and gone from there.
 
It's useful in that you can contact people in the least intrusive way possible. Even less than email or IM. Ahh the facebook message, glorious.
 
i have an account but rarely use it. I actually deleted several "friends" off it because they were people from high school that I was never friends with or even gave a shit about me. I don't give a shit what they are doing with their lives and certainly don't need an hour by hour commentary on it.

i have my sister added and her last post is "i can't find the shoes I wanted that would go with this outfit." WTF?!?!?! who really gives a fuck? why does the whole world need to know that?
 
oh yeah. i reconnected with a bunch of my friends from elementary school. its so interesting to see how they have changed since you last remember them (10+ years ago for me). its great to keep in touch with people.
 
What ever your do don't try it out for yourself unless you have calculated all risks and benefits as provided by anonymous third parties.
 
I like the fact that facebook instantly puts you in communication with people you forgot about 10 years ago and don't give a shit about now. I like how people are constantly bugging you to join this or that group. I like how everyone seems to have the time and the interest to update their mood of the moment or whatever it's called every 5 minutes. I like how you get access to picture of hot girls you don't know when they add you as a friend because they are friends with someone who you haven't seen or thought about in years but still accepted as a friend through a wierd sense of obligation. (ok that last one is true).
 
I use it to look at girls I went to high school with. I get many laughs at their expense seeing them with their many children they should not have had. Mayhaps they should keep their legs closed, or else the cycle of poverty will continue.

Also, some of these girls put up pics of them doing coke. I was laughing for days at that one, since they had to take it down a few hours after they realized what they just put up on the internet. Oh stupid people, how you entertain me.

I'm curious about this. I've heard of people doing this, but what do you say in the invitation message to make her want to accept your friend invitation and chat with you?
