The functions I use Facebook for are only valid if it's full of the majority of mankind.

Dating, and finding cheap used shit to buy in a parking lot.

That's true for any social network. It's only useful if a lot of people are using it, but a lot of people won't use it until it becomes useful. That's the catch-22 that keeps new social networks from getting off the ground.

Facebook is really nothing without people, opinions, think groups, pacs, and assholes all fighting for attention. That is Facebook.

Once you boil it down to that, it kinda makes you wonder why on earth would want to make another one to start with rather than remove the entire concept from existence.
