I also dislike facebook greatly. I have an account with a picture and some basic info for the rare occassion an old friend wants to get in touch. I login once every 4 or so months to check my requests/etc. I dislike their stance on security and privacy. I understand that my personal data will be used to sell advertising -- that's fine, you have to make money. But the way they're getting into the photo recognition and selling that info complete with geotags, etc makes me nervous.

We're going to see facebooks decline in the near future. When my grandma friend requests me, a technology is pretty much dead. The younger generation is already moving away from it seeing the 'trouble' it has caused for their siblings/etc. I loved facebook when you needed a .edu address to get an account. It was perfect for staying in touch with everyone that went to different schools. Now it's filled with religious and political propoganda (on both sides) that I don't want to deal with while online.
