If facebook disappeared (tomorrow or whenever) people will find alternative ways to keep in touch. That is, you will probably have less people of which see the occasional holiday pictures, but in my experience (by quitting facebook), the number of core friends has not changed. Because let's face it, as Sherry Turkle wrote[1], with facebook, we have moved from friendship to a "sense of frienship".
I don't doubt that facebook provides some value, but I don't think that value is a sane relation to what we sacrifice as humans.
