RE: “IMO, Facebook is a fad and will probably not exist in its current form in 10 to 20 years.
A few years back, Myspace was the place where everyone went (well, not me). Now, it is facebook and twitter.
I do not understand the fascination with any of these.”

Agree — many people are finding Facebook to be a fun way to meet new (and old) friends without much real effort. My high school chums are all over it, reminiscing about the sixties and such. We’ve got our elementary school class photos on there as well. It has been fun, but people are dropping off, myself included.
This stuff has a definite time limit unless a poster is one of the few who have made it their whole life and can’t stop reading and posting. We’ve got a few like that on the friend list and the competitiveness and need to comment on every single thing is gag-worthy now. I’ve stopped posting altogether and doubt I will go back.
FR is MUCH, much better and always has been.
I admit I was prodded into setting up a FB acount by a friend and I did, but I never use the thing. I have tried it, but most of the comments are so inane and it seems like a total waste of time to me.
