Facebook:
* Groups: My primary use of Facebook. I'm involved with several local and special interest groups.
* Messenger: It's better than SMS.
* Videos: The video system is really good, and I've subscribed to several channels. Mostly industry, intellectual, and educational channels.
* Walls: When I ask myself "I wounder what that person I fell out of touch with 2 years ago is up to" this is where I go.
* Events: If I feel the need to go out and get some R&R but I don't have any plans I check this for things to do.
LinkedIn: Early in my career I created a LinkedIn page. I've received several job offers from it over the years, and even accepted two. I keep it up, and use it as a reference to build my resume. If I'm considering switching offices I flip that switch to get a feel for the current local labor market and how it matches with my skill set.
IRC: Classics never die.
Special interest webforms: Another place to meet people with similar hobbies.
Discord: This is starting to take over IRC in several communities I am involved in. It's Slack for fun things instead of work things. I watch about a dozen topics in a half dozen "servers".
